However, out of the box it only directly supports Redhat 7.3 and Redhat 8. Has anyone managed to install it under Redhat 9 and what if anything did you need to do to get it to call the glibc libraries successfully? At the moment when I run ./setup, it fails with an error msssage stating that it cannot find the glibc libraries.

But it can take advantage of a lot more memory too. Memory is inexpensive, so if configuring a machine with 8G or 16G of RAM speeds things up or succeeds in PAR for large designs that fail on 32 bit systems, that's a small price to pay. ###### From: "Matt" Newsgroups: comp.arch.fpga References: <3abc4240.0309181808.3e1b9cbc@posting.google.com> <1nzab.364$4G3.59567@newsfep2-gui.server.ntli.net> <3F71C406.3050105@xilinx.com> Subject: Re: ISE 6.1 and Redhat 9 Lines: 104 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158 X-MIMEOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1165 Message-ID: <%Stcb.569967$Ho3.105413@sccrnsc03> NNTP-Posting-Host: 12.235.170.52 X-Complaints-To: abuse@comcast.net X-Trace: sccrnsc03 1064462907 12.235.170.52 (Thu, 25 Sep 2003 04:08:27 GMT) NNTP-Posting-Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2003 04:08:27 GMT Organization: Comcast Online Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2003 04:08:27 GMT Path: redlance.franklin.ch!pfaff2.ethz.ch!pfaff.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!switch.ch!news.ifi.unizh.ch!news.imp.ch!news.imp.ch!news-spur1.maxwell.syr.edu!news.maxwell.syr.edu!wn14feed!wn13feed!wn11feed!worldnet.att.net!204.127.198.203!attbi_feed3!attbi.com!sccrnsc03.POSTED!not-for-mail Xref: redlance.franklin.ch comp.arch.fpga:33396 Thanks Steve.

The average runtime on Linux is 18% faster than Windows. The best we saw is 43% faster. Also, one of our application engineers tried a customer project that uses a XC2V1000, via ISE 6.1i. His quote: > This was done on a quad Opteron 844 multiprocessor server, hosted by > 64-bit SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 8.

Note that this is not a configuration that we officially support, and of course he is running ISE 6.1i which is a 32 bit application.

Running 64-bit Linux on an AMD64 processor (Opteron or Athlon 64) allows 32-bit Linux applications to access just under 4G. I haven't tried ISE 6.1i on an AMD64 yet, but I expect that it should be able to P&R larger designs than on 32-bit CPUs. None of my designs to date have needed more than 1.5G. ###### From: Steve Lass Newsgroups: comp.arch.fpga Subject: Re: ISE 6.1 and Redhat 9 Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2003 17:08:39 -0600 Organization: Xilinx Lines: 35 Message-ID: <3F74C6F7.3030107@xilinx.com> References: <3abc4240.0309181808.3e1b9cbc@posting.google.com> <1nzab.364$4G3.59567@newsfep2-gui.server.ntli.net> <3F71C406.3050105@xilinx.com> <3F7282F7.4F52@designtools.co.nz> <3F730C44.9090806@xilinx.com> Reply-To: lass@xilinx.com NNTP-Posting-Host: 149.199.186.52 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030208 Netscape/7.02 X-Accept-Language: en-us, en Path: redlance.franklin.ch!pfaff2.ethz.ch!pfaff.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!switch.ch!news.mailgate.org!newsfeed.icl.net!newsfeed.fjserv.net!news.maxwell.syr.edu!newsfeed.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp!ctu-gate!news.nctu.edu.tw!feeder.seed.net.tw!attdv1!ip.att.net!newsgate.xilinx.com!cliff.xsj.xilinx.com!not-for-mail Xref: redlance.franklin.ch comp.arch.fpga:33536 Eric Smith wrote: >Jim Granville wrote: > > >>Do they have the same ceiling ? >> >> > >Steve Lass writes: > > >>Yes, both Windows XP and Linux can address 3G.
