DESCRIPTION:This talk shares our experience in designing and deploying a Fr
 eeBSD-based platform that provides a runtime environment for EDA (electron
 ic design automation) software. This project is supported by MEXT (the Min
 istry of Education\, Culture\, Sports\, Science and Technology of Japan) a
 nd aims to reinforce Japan’s semiconductor industry. The speaker has bee
 n responsible for the computer system component of the project.\n\nThe cor
 e platform was designed using FreeBSD\, whereas most industry-standard sem
 iconductor design and manufacturing tools are Linux-based. From an integra
 ted circuit designer’s perspective\, a common challenge is building and 
 maintaining a workstation capable of running such software. One of the pri
 mary design goals was to create a system that is easy to use for students 
 unfamiliar with Linux\, while also minimizing the burden of system adminis
 tration\, which can otherwise become a barrier to education.\n\nFreeBSD pr
 ovides a number of mature technologies for virtualization and compartmenta
 lization\, and the system has been built on top of them. This talk covers 
 how these technologies are used\, as well as additional components that we
 re developed to meet specific requirements. It also discusses the deployme
 nt strategy\, which aims to make the platform available throughout Japan.
