Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Ep. 1: Differences between IT and OT security
It’s National Cybersecurity Awareness Month! In 2003, the National Cybersecurity Alliance and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designated October as Cybersecurity Awareness Month. To recognize this annual tradition, join AWS for a 4-part mini-series highlighting the different ways cybersecurity impacts your industrial landscape, especially since, as Caroline points out, “Over the pandemic, cyber events […]
Scaling chip design processes with high velocity in the cloud
Shift left – a path to faster and better SOC quality A revolution is happening in the chip design industry. A revolution that allows projects to finish earlier, with fewer bugs, while budget stays in control. In this article, I’ll share my personal view on a few related bottlenecks that directly affect time to market […]
Semiconductor Supply Chain Resiliency with AWS
Introduction AWS can help Semiconductor companies with their value chain transformation by migrating the entire PLM-CAD-ERP workflow to the cloud while mitigating resource and performance risks. Data ingested from SAP into AWS-powered data lakes and Amazon SageMaker for machine learning is used for predictive analytics and simulation of various scenarios. For example, to address supply […]
Using Cadence’s Pegasus Physical Verification with TrueCloud, customers benefit from 2X walltime savings using Amazon EC2 X2iezn Instances
Introduction Silicon designers are creating increasingly complex designs to address ever-increasing demand from customers. Increased complexity poses challenges to electronic design automation (EDA) applications that help with manufacturability and functionality of the designs on silicon. Physical verification is an integral part of the silicon design system that identifies design layout issues prior to its production […]
