Using Keysight Design Data Management SOS in the Cloud
eBooks
Integrated circuits (ICs) are becoming increasingly complex and resource intensive. This is challenging companies to design chips more efficiently and reduce the overall impact of peak processing loads.
Companies typically use large server farms and high-performance storage systems to design and validate chips quickly and efficiently. However, this approach is very resource intensive. For example, electronic design automation (EDA) tools can require several thousand CPU cores. This type of environment is also difficult to scale and manage — leaving a business vulnerable to performance spikes and project delays.
In light of this, many companies are now using the cloud. With the cloud, companies can dynamically scale their servers, cores, and memory. This allows them to develop chips concurrently and bring new designs to market at a faster pace. The cloud also helps avoid large expenditure, and allows companies to instantly scale to meet changing processing demands.
