HCLTech Success Story

CHALLENGES

Navigating the Semiconductor Landscape

The escalating demand for customized silicon solutions presents the semiconductor industry with unprecedented challenges. Non-traditional semiconductor players and startups face obstacles such as formidable entry barriers, complex design processes and unpredictable development timelines. The HCLTech in-house design team was developing a new product and needed a complete chip design platform that could be elastic and flexible for both electronic design automation (EDA) licenses and compute options. The following pain points needed to be addressed:

• Infrastructure deployment: Long set-up times for EDA environment with limited capacity and scalability
• Performance and productivity bottlenecks: Unable to leverage leading-edge infrastructure quickly
• License management overhead: Lost time and productivity in deploying and managing license servers

SOLUTIONS OFFERED

Transforming SoC Design with Synopsys Cloud Collaboration

HCLTech and Synopsys are collaborating to accelerate the development of complex silicon solutions for clients by leveraging the capabilities of Synopsys Cloud deployment, providing a seamless browser-based SoC design experience.
