EDA software and the CentOS 7 end of life
Electronic design automation (EDA) vendors develop software for the design of semiconductor chips and computer hardware. Being long running, distributed applications, customers will often use a grid of Linux servers to run EDA software. Information technology (IT) departments are responsible for keeping these servers running, with minimal downtime. Due to its free cost, and widespread…

DEVSIM TCAD Simulator
The DEVSIM semiconductor device simulator is an open source software. The project home page is at https://devsim.org. As the primary developer, my goal is to create a general purpose tool that can be used for both traditional drift-diffusion and multi-physics problems. The forum at https://forum.devsim.org is a good place to join the discussion about this…
