Enabling Seamless Burst to Cloud with Real-time Data Sync for EDA

Bursting EDA workloads from on-prem to cloud is a challenge for most on-prem environments that are increasingly running out of capacity due to the growing complexity of advanced-node designs. For massively parallelized workloads, such as library characterization, implementation and physical verification, engineers currently need to split their designs between on-prem and cloud execution if they want to leverage the scalable compute capacity on cloud. Depending on the design, this is a tedious activity that eats away at precious engineering productivity. And once job execution is complete, the process to transfer output data back from cloud to on-prem and aggregate it with output generated on-prem adds to this overhead. In this session, we will discuss a unique approach to enabling a true hybrid cloud environment architected specifically for EDA workloads which enables engineers to submit a large job exclusively on-prem automatically splitting the job, routing selective worker traffic through a secure network for cloud execution, and syncing data generated on cloud back to on-prem storage for further processing in the flow. Along with license management automation, hybrid cloud optimization can radically improve engineering productivity and enhance the coverall cloud experience for SoC design.
