CADP Current Status

CADP Releases

The CONVECS team is actively developing CADP, notably in the framework of its current research projects.

Since 2010, the distribution of CADP has evolved towards a monthly rolling release scheme. There is usually one release the 13th of each month, except in August where it is traditionally scheduled the 26th.

Academic users must upgrade at least once a year, so that the CADP team does not spend its time dealing with issues already fixed years before.

Commercial users can obtain long-term, stable releases, such as CADP 2017 Pro.

Operating systems and base software are constantly evolving: please, share your feedback with cadp@inria.fr to keep this page up to date.

NOTE: We use Debian as a reference, but other Linux distributions (e.g., Fedora, Red Hat, Suse, etc.) are also supported. To know if a particular distribution is supported, compare your kernel and libc versions to those of Debian distributions.

Possibly Supported Platforms

For the following platforms (many of which are no longer officially supported by their developers), the recent versions of CADP might still work, as they still contain executable files that used to work on these platforms, and because we made no explicit change in CADP to drop support for these platforms. However, we have stopped testing CADP on these platforms and, thus, make no claim that the latest versions of CADP are still usable on these platforms. If you have feedback about this, please share your information with cadp@inria.fr so that we can update this page.

CADP architecture name Hardware / processor Operating system version
sol64 Sun workstation
with Intel processor		 Solaris 10
mac64 Mac computer with
Intel processor		 MacOS X/macOS
10.10 "Yosemite",
10.11 "El Capitan",
10.12 "Sierra",
10.13 "High Sierra",
10.14 "Mojave"
(64-bit mode)

Legacy Platforms

The following platforms are no longer supported by the latest versions of CADP. Explicit changes have been made in the CADP distribution to stop supporting these platforms (e.g., by removing the corresponding executable files or by upgrading them with incompatible binaries). In principle, the obsolete versions of CADP are not distributed any more. However, under particular circumstances, they could be made available at certain costs and conditions.
