Synopsys Synchronized Release Model (SRM)

The Synopsys Synchronized Release Model is a schedule-driven release model.

  • Releases are at fixed-dates known as Release Opportunities (RO)
  • There are four ROs/year for Feature Releases
  • There are eight ROs/year for Service Pack Releases
  • Individual products define their release frequency
  • All product releases are developed and tested on a defined set of common platform configuration and common code baseline ¨C referred to as Foundation.

A Foundation can change every 9 months. Operating System changes are typically scheduled every 36 months to keep up with market demand and vendor releases. Synopsys typically builds on a single operating system baseline version for each SRM Foundation.
