We have been using Scientific Linux for a while. It have been working well so far basically. But we never compiled 8K point FFT, and we experienced strange behavior at the very beginning.

Is it possible to have one host dedicated to the toolflow and do your scientific processing elsewhere? We even use different hosts for testing with our ROACH boards, which do carry a pretty full suite of science packages.

Hi all,

I have tried to search documentation and email archive without any
convincing answer, so my apologies if I am repeating an already settled
question.

We currently use CentOS on our machine that we use for running CASPER
toolflow for Roach 2. We are in the process of procuring a new machine and
our institute recommends using Scientific Linux (SL) instead of CentOS. I
understand that they are clones of RHE and SL is a closer clone than
CentOS. I am also told that anything that runs on CentOS will run on SL.

I want to know if anyone has been using the CAPSER toolflow successfully on
SL or ran into any problems? We need to make this decision soon and it
would be very helpful to know of others' experience.

Many thanks,

Nimish

hi nimish,

we haven't run SL, but we have run into some strange
problems with linux operating systems that are not
supported by xilinx.   for instance, fft's that are longer
than 8K points don't work correctly on some non-supported
operating systems.   and you don't get an error message during compilation
- you just see flaky results from your fft.   when we contacted xilinx
about it, they said they wouldn't research our problem unless we used a
supported
operating system.   when we switched to RHEL5, the problem
went away.

best wishes,

dan
