Silicon Valley Research Software Achieves Two Fold
Performance Increase Running On Linux
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 13, 1999--Silicon Valley Research, Inc. (OTC BB: SVRI) announced today
that it has successfully completed benchmarks of the latest version of its software running on Red Hat Linux 6.1.
The Company's application engineers routed a 500K net, 5-layer design with an upcoming release of its QICROUTE software
application. The benchmark was run on both a Sun Microsystems Ultra 60 Model 1450 running on Solaris 2.6 and a Gigabyte
GA-71X PC with a 750 MHZ AMD Athlon processor running on Red Hat Linux 6.1.
''The Solaris system was able to complete the benchmark in a little over 8 hours while the Linux system completed in just under
4 hours,'' stated James Benouis, President and CEO of SVR. ''We consistently saw more than a two fold performance
increase with the Linux PC. Running on Linux allowed us to route an amazing two thousand nets per minute.
''With the current road map of next generation processors from AMD and Intel moving well into the gigahertz range by early
next year, PC systems will continue to provide substantial performance advantages over the current generation of UNIX
workstations at a much lower overall system cost. By running on Linux, we have reclaimed the spot as the fastest production
routing solution on the market.''
