“SynTest Technologies, Inc., an EDA Company and supplier of DFT
tools for IC designers and foundries, announced today that the
company has added support for the Linux platform to its existing
support for the UNIX platform.”
“SynTest’s products improve a design’s testability and fault
coverage and result in reduced defect levels and tester
time.“
“L.-T. Wang, SynTest’s President and CEO, noted, “The benchmarks
we ran last year validated that Linux was a viable platform for our
DFT tools. We are adding Linux support in answer to customer
requests and as part of our strategy to maintain our position as a
leading supplier of DFT solutions.”
“Wang noted, “For many of our customers tool performance is
critical and our Linux tools typically run two to five times faster
than with other operating systems, depending upon the workstation
processor type and clock speed. This is in addition to the already
five to twenty times speed advantage that they have over competing
solutions.”
