“Silicon Valley Research…announced today that it has
successfully completed benchmarks of the latest version of its
software running on Red Hat Linux 6.1.”
“The Company’s application engineers routed a 500K net, 5-layer
design with an upcoming release of its QICROUTE software
application. The benchmark was run on both a Sun Microsystems Ultra
60 Model 1450 running on Solaris 2.6 and a Gigabyte GA-71X PC with
a 750 MHZ AMD Athlon processor running on Red Hat Linux 6.1.”
“The Solaris system was able to complete the benchmark in a
little over 8 hours while the Linux system completed in just under
4 hours,” stated James Benouis, President and CEO of SVR. “We
consistently saw more than a two fold performance increase with the
Linux PC. Running on Linux allowed us to route an amazing two
thousand nets per minute.”
