"The CERN physics department is deploying the Cadence analog and digital end-to-end solutions as well as the Cadence verification and Allegro PCB solutions throughout the support of its CERN IT department."

- nubinetwork 2y agoThat sounds nice, but I haven't seen any of those features drop yet... I wouldn't be surprised if altium can do simulations, but it's not exactly a free/OSS product.
- _fizz_buzz_ 2y agoCERN is of course a massive organisation where people use lots of tools. But the annoncemnet you posted is from 2011 and CERN started using KiCad some time later (2014 or so). And there is definitely some advanced stuff they are working on that is done in KiCad such as Macbeth [1] They also have a service contract with KiCad Services Corporation.
