Synopsys Container

The Singularity-based Synopsys container solution provides OS libraries and other dependencies required by Synopsys tools.  This minimizes the possibility of failure due to missing dependencies at run-time.

Specifically, using a Synopsys container provides the following benefits:

  • A consistent, controlled runtime environment
  • The correct version of required OS libraries and other dependencies
  • The ability to run application on heterogeneous host machines

OS Prerequisite: The December 2024 Synopsys Container 2.1 release supports the following Linux x86_64 distributions:

  • CentOS or RHEL 7.3+
  • RHEL, AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux 8.4+, 9.1+
  • SLES 12 SP5
  • SLES 15 SP3+

Download: 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 5.8 or later to install, configure and deploy the container. 

Installation: 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
