SAN JOSE, Calif. -- IBM Corp. and Cadence Design Systems Inc. said today (January 20, 2003) they have agreed to optimize and market electronic design solutions from Cadence using Linux-based technology from IBM.
Under the joint agreement, Cadence EDA tools are to be adapted to run on IBM servers and workstations running the Red Hat Linux operating system.
“Through our joint initiative, the customer will be able to gain access to a new generation of electronic design tools that use the open-source, cost effective architecture of Linux to offer solutions with faster time-to-market, reduced costs and sharpened competitive advantage,” said Lorene Steffes, general manager of IBM's global electronics sector, said in statement.
“This agreement represents a major advance in the application of Linux and a new milestone in our relationship with IBM,” said Penny Herscher, chief marketing officer and executive vice president for Cadence
Cadence said it plans to complete the Linux support roll-out for most of its IC EDA tools by the end of the first quarter of 2003. Products such as Spectre and Cadence Chip Assembly Router that were released late in 2002 have already shown performance improvements of up to 7X at many customer sites, Cadence said.
