Sun Microsystems (Santa Clara, CA) and Mentor Graphics Corporation (Wilsonville, OR) recently announced that Mentor would begin qualifying and supporting selected products on x64/x86 platforms running the Solaris 10 operating system.

Mentor Graphics intends to include its products BoardStation XE, Calibre nmDRC and LVS, Design for Test suite, and O-In product lines in the Questa mixed-language verification platform by the end of the calendar year. Questa, ModelSim and O-In support for Solaris 10 on x64/x86 systems is targeted for Q3 2007. Calibre nmDRC and LVS, Boardstation XE, and the Design for Test suite availability is targeted for Q4 2007.

"Mentor Graphics and Sun have a long history of collaboration, so it's natural that we would expand our partnership," said John Fowler, executive vice president of Sun Microsystems. "Solaris, as the only UNIX OS that runs on x64/x86-based systems, is ideally suited to address the challenges of deep sub-micron design."
