Additional enhancements in version 2.2 of the Synplify ASIC software include: improved interoperability; faster runtimes; and expanded platform support, including HP-UX 11.0, Linux (RedHat 7.1) and Solaris 2.8.
The Synplify ASIC software is available now for Linux (Red Hat 7.1), HP-UX 11.0, Sun Solaris 2.7/2.8 and Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 operating systems.
