Please note that data is portable between all platforms. A design created on a sparc box can be read/modified by an x86 box and vice versa. There is no additional charge for using more than one platform/port.

Sun SPARC/Solaris
* Program executes on Solaris 2.6 thru Solaris 10. License server program runs on Solaris 2.6 thru Solaris 10. (Note solaris 2.6 & 2.7 will be end of life'd summer 2007. The last version will be 3.3.4)
* Much larger designs possible under Sun's Solaris 8+ OS in 64 bit addressing mode. Note the 64 bit solaris 8+ version is threaded to take advantage of multi-CPU boxes.
* Sun's X-Server is among the very best
* Sun's legendary reliability with ECC memory correction to assure data reliability
* We recommend configurations with at least the PGX32 graphics card to minimize color flash
* Member of Sun Catalyst program

x86 machines using Linux 2.2 (Compatible with Linux 2.4/2.6 also)
* Works on almost any flavor(RH 6.x-enterprise, CentOS, SuSe 8-10, Fedora, ...)
* Lower machine cost
* The Linux file system design gives faster stream conversion performance than an equivalent Sun/Solaris machine.
* Runs on a laptop. Our Sony Vaio running RH 9 provides on the road editing/viewing. Any laptop running Linux/X should work.
* Almost any video card will work in conjunction with slam because slam supports 16/24/32 bit true color visuals.

AMD Opteron/Intel 64 Linux 2.4/2.6 64 bit.
* Low cost alternative for editing very big chips. (13GB stream files have been edited using opterons.)
* Fully compatible with all other ports.
* Opteron port is threaded for dual/quad processor configurations. Multiple cpu's can provide a substantial performance boost to redraw, selection, DRC and data translation.
* While the 32 bit code will run on the 64 bit platform, it is faster to run the 64 bit code on the opteron. Not sure why maybe its all the extra registers in the 64 bit architecture. So, if you have opterons, you'll want the 64 bit port.
* Our Opteron setup is a dual monitor setup and came from ASL Labs all setup for linux. The box is a Marquis 4-way workstation with 16GB of memory. An example of the dual monitors showing schematic and layout with the net "Y" cross probed.
* Native ports for both kernel 2.4 and 2.6. The 2.4 port is available for backwards compat while the 2.6 port provides slightly faster execution on 2.6 kernels.
