Linux in Electronic Design Automation
|
| From semiconductor and component suppliers to contract electronics manufacturers (CEMs) and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), companies in the electronics industry are finding that to stay competitive, they must reduce costs throughout the supply chain. |
| To reduce costs, electronics companies are achieving cost-efficiencies and technological advantages by leveraging open-source systems. Increasingly, their search for an industry-standard, reliable, cost-effective platform leads them to Linux. |
| The Linux in Electronic Design Automation (EDA) solution provides high performance computing to the electronics industry. The solution is available world wide to large enterprises as well as to small- to medium-sized businesses. It includes: |
|
| IBM Hardware |
IBM  xSeries server, Intellistation, Storage. |
|
| Services and Support |
IBM Support Line, IBM Linux Virtual Services, IBM Learning Services and workshops |
|
| ISV Application |
 Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics |
|
| Linux Distribution |
Red Hat 7.x and AS 2.1 |
| Linux can potentially improve your productivity by enabling you to improve performance and lower the cost of high performance computing. The improved productivity, as well as scalability, available on Linux can also help you reduce the total cost of ownership of EDA for electronics customers. |

STMicroelectronics
STMicroelectronics (STMicro) is a French-Italian independent semiconductor company. For its design centers in Milan, Italy, STMicro turned to IBM xSeries servers running Red Hat Linux to increase performance and reduce costs. STMicro is now enjoying substantially better performance of its EDA tools at a much lower cost. |
