Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools are critical for designing silicon chips. In the cloud, pay-per-use mechanisms are the norm, but this traditionally isn’t the case for EDA licensing which can limit organizations’ ability to scale EDA on AWS. Synopsys Cloud Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) with FlexEDA is a groundbreaking solution that addresses this need. […]

The emergence of generative AI presents tremendous opportunities for advancing technical and business processes in high tech and semiconductor industries. From optimizing complex system design processes to accelerating time-to-market for new products, generative AI has unlimited potential to improve engineering and manufacturing methodologies and processes. Generative design methodologies powered by AI can automatically design chips […]

Amazon is also a fabless semiconductor company. Several tapeouts are completed every year that result in products like Kindle, FireTV, Echo, etc. Amazon Web Services (AWS) does its inhouse semiconductor design for its data center operations through its internal team at Annapurna Labs. AWS Graviton, an ARM based CPU as well as AWS Trainium and […]

The semiconductor industry, known for its intricate manufacturing processes, generates a vast amount of sensor data crucial for analytics and machine learning. However, due to legacy systems and complex data infrastructure, collecting this data in real-time and at scale can be a challenging task. This blog post explains some challenges faced by the semiconductor industry […]

Using advanced node technology to successfully manufacture a chip is getting harder as chip geometries continue to shrink. Electronic Design Automation (EDA) consumes more compute, storage, and time. Giving your engineers more time to iterate and find bugs in the design and verification phases will result in saving millions in re-spins and lost revenue. Further […]

Introduction High performance computing (HPC) workloads are becoming complex with the advent of big data, advanced node electronic design automation (EDA) for chip design, and high-precision verification. Enterprises are adopting Amazon Web Services (AWS) to meet the constantly growing compute demands in HPC. Worldwide HPC in the Cloud Forecast 2020–2026 from Hyperion Research (June 2022) […]

Introduction Semiconductor chips have become an indispensable part of our lives with the advancements driven by technologies like 5G, Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML). Semiconductor chips power a broad range of devices, including consumer devices, automobiles, smart cities and homes, data centers, and more. The increased demand for […]

Challenges of New Product Development in Electronics Manufacturing The pressures of miniaturization, functional complexity, customer quality demands, costs and margin, competition, and environmental expectations make the development and production of electronic devices harder than ever before. They have become more complex and so have their supply chains – often spanning multiple countries and continents. Manufacturers […]

In this blog, we discuss the benefits of using open-source electronic design automation (EDA) software, which is required for designing integrated circuits. We also discuss why AWS is the best platform to do open-source chip design and an effective means to collaborate and enable academia and chip design teams with a lower budget to design […]
