CERN Accelerating science

In SDT service we actively help software projects in CERN experiments to identify, evaluate, purchase and use industrial software development tools. Network floating licences are used as much as possible, so that the tools can be run remotely. We can also, if you have an AFS account, give you access to our Solaris server in case the binary for your platform is not available. You can find the complete information on what we have and how to use it at URL:

News of the year

From beginning of the year, the SDT service is part of the new group API (http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/api/).

All the tools of SDT have been tested last year to be Y2K compliant. Tools not compliant have been excluded from the list, like Modsim (Intranet Solution).

Last news

Adobe is now providing a beta version of FrameMaker for Linux which has been installed on our server (http://sdt.cern.ch/FrameMaker/ProcLinux.html). As Linux is taking more and more interest at CERN, we will provide the best effort for this platform.

Sniff version 3.2 has been installed.

Below is the complete list of our tools. For the latest information watch our News page which is updated as things happen:
