Integrating OPC UA machine events into the Amazon Virtual Andon solution
Introduction In modern IT, everybody speaks about microservices and integration between different systems. But when we look at the shop floor, the reality is that there are a lot of different protocols depending on the machine vendor. Even when the protocol is well understood, there is still a need to implement protocol-specific adapters to convert […]

Communications service providers (CSPs) often manage millions of customer premises equipment devices (CPEs) to provide services to their customers. These devices come in different types depending on the underlying communications technologies. Cable modems and xDSL modems, set-top boxes, and wireless routers are some examples of equipment types we see in customer environments. To manage those […]
Read MoreBroadcom reduces workbench testing time and cost with AWS Lambda and AWS Glue
Introduction Workbench testing is a key step in the manufacturing of semiconductor chips. Testing consists of sending electrical signals to semiconductor devices and comparing output signals to expected values. It is essential to ensure that the produced devices work according to specifications. Workbench testing is also time consuming and costly, so we do not want […]
Read MoreEDA Scale with FSx for NetApp ONTAP and IBM LSF
Introduction Silicon design teams are constantly under pressure to deliver more efficient products faster, while keeping costs low. Electronic Design Automation (EDA) infrastructure teams, which provide compute, storage, and other IT resources to silicon design teams, can play a critical role in shrinking the RTL-to-GDSII cycle. Historically, compute capacity for EDA workloads has come from […]
Read MoreDeploying a Privacy-Safe Data Clean Room on AWS with Snowflake
The deprecation of device identifiers and third-party cookies has accelerated the need for advertisers, data providers, and media companies to collaborate directly as they seek to understand customers, plan media campaigns, and analyze path-to-purchase. At the same time, privacy regulations, consumer trust, and intellectual property protection are driving the need for increased data security and governance […]
Read MoreAccelerating EDA with the Agility of AWS and NetApp Data Services
Introduction This post will walk you through the configuration of this powerful EDA solution and provide performance benchmarks. Semiconductor design simulation, verification, lithography, metrology, yield analysis, and many other workloads benefit from the scalability and performance of the AWS Cloud. For example, the by latest generation EC2 instance types enhance compute performance for these applications. […]
Read MoreImprove overall quality control in manufacturing: using ML at edge and central dashboards at scale
Introduction As the manufacturing industry evolves rapidly in the industry 4.0 era, industry professionals are exploring technologies to improve and optimize their industrial process. Building better products is one of the top priorities of industrials, along with reducing overall costs, increasing revenues, offering products at a lower price and reducing time to market. The critical […]
Read MoreEnable Semiconductor Design on AWS with Intervision’s DesignHub
Overview Electronic Design Automation (EDA) workloads present unique challenges to compute grids, complex file-based storage systems, and scalability requirements. Semiconductor companies are rapidly growing compute and storage resources needed to meet their product complexity and density, development lifecycle and time to market requirements. Semiconductor clients are leveraging virtually unlimited compute, storage, and other resources available […]
Read MoreThe semantics of data sharing across the semiconductor supply chain
Introduction As the global supply chain continues to impact the semiconductor industry, it is vital to find a better way to forecast demand and predict supply chain shortfalls. As a follow-on to my interview and content provided in Architecture Monthly: Semiconductor Design, this blog discusses the need for cross-industry data sharing and collaboration, and the […]
