Moving EDA Workloads To The Cloud

Are you considering moving your EDA workloads to the cloud? If so, you are not alone. Many chip makers are discovering an inviting environment in the cloud for chip design and verification. 

For example, U.K. chip maker Arm announced at the end of 2020 that it was moving most of its EDA workloads to the cloud, resulting in an expected tenfold jump in throughput for chip design and verification. Arm plans to cut its data center footprint by at least 45% and its on-premises computing infrastructure by 80% as it completes migration to the cloud.

Dutch chip maker NXP Semiconductor followed suit in 2021, announcing that it would migrate most of its EDA workloads from its data centers to the cloud. And this year, Intel Foundry Services formed an alliance with major cloud providers and EDA tool suppliers to promote secure chip design and verification in the cloud. Cloud computing dramatically improves your time to market by eliminating the uncertainty of whether on-premises storage and compute infrastructure can handle EDA workloads.

Infrastructure enables more effective and efficient chip design and manufacturing. Even the most sensitive EDA workloads can be supported in the cloud, because it is resilient, elastic, secure, and mature enough to handle them.

Cloud computing can help you accelerate chip design cycles, increase innovation, reduce scheduling risks, and maintain product roadmaps. Moving EDA workloads to a cloud infrastructure is the logical next step. 

The key point is that you should no longer focus on building on-premises environments for EDA workloads. Instead, identify a clear migration path to a flexible cloud infrastructure.
