Cloud native EDA tools & pre-optimized hardware platforms
A Synopsys container has OS libraries and other dependencies that minimize the possibility of failure due to missing dependencies at run-time. This is especially useful for running applications on heterogeneous clients or in a cloud environment.
Many Linux-based Synopsys tools are enabled to access a Synopsys container. (The tools do not reside in the container but can access it.)
OS Prerequisite: The following Linux x86_64 distributions are supported for the Synopsys Container:
Using a Synopsys container provides the following benefits:

Download the Synopsys Container binaries from the SolvNet Download Center (choose “Synopsys Container” as the product). Then use the container_setup.sh utility included with Synopsys Installer 5.6 or later to install, configure and deploy the container.
Step-by-step instructions on installing, accessing, and extending the Synopsys Container can be obtained here.
Synopsys Installer and Container documentation is also available at https://www.synopsys.com/install
