Introduction AWS designed Graviton processors aiming to deliver the best price-performance for cloud computing. Since it launched in 2018, many customers of different sizes (start-ups to enterprises) have adopted Graviton for various workloads. Tehama, the world’s first Carrier for Work, has embraced the cost savings and environmental benefits associated with AWS Graviton for their all-in-one […]

Introduction Semiconductor manufacturing has become incredibly complex and the effort it takes to get electronics in front of the end customer at a reasonable price point is very challenging. This coupled with the chip shortage, and the cost and time to build fabs to increase capacity, has led to companies focusing on improving productivity. A […]

Introduction This blog will help you understand how you can utilize Amazon EC2 X2iezn instances to expedite the semiconductor physical verification process using Calibre Physical Verification tools from Siemens EDA. As semiconductor devices increase in density and complexity, the physical verification phase of the chip design process requires compute nodes with increasingly high memory-to-core ratio, […]

Introduction The Semiconductor Industry is working to establish Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) standards with the help of science-based targets. As a result, there is an increasing demand to collect and understand operational and product related data for accounting, reporting and optimization. Businesses are now looking to assume responsibility for their products across their […]

Introduction Electronic Design Automation (EDA) workloads have traditionally run on-premises on a combination of latest and older generation compute servers. The performance penalty of running Electronic Design Automation (EDA) on older generation hardware is often neglected in discussions and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) models. With EDA license costs greatly exceeding IT spend in silicon […]

In our final episode during cybersecurity awareness month, we turn our discussion with Robert to examine the myths and misunderstandings surrounding industrial IoT systems that persist throughout the manufacturing industry. Robert tells us “A lot of the myths that are out there with regards to industrial IoT systems, unfortunately, misdirect us. They make us think […]
