CERN helped NI to help CERN adopt 64bit Linux

European lab CERN is working to standardise 64bit Linux as the operating system for all if its control systems, according to test firm National Instruments (NI).

NI has been involved with CERN for many years, and NI’s LabView system design tool was used to develop control software for, amongst other things, the Large Hadron Collider’s collimation system.

The engineering department of CERN’s industrial controls and engineering (EN-ICE) group was lead customer when NI defined the 64bit Linux version of LabView.

“The ICE Group appreciates the engagement of NI to develop 64bit software for CERN in a collaborative way,” said Adriaan Rijllart, section leader at EN-ICE group.

LabView for 64bit Linux was officially released to the public in last year.
