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 WorkTM, has embraced the cost savings and environmental benefits associated with AWS Graviton for their all-in-one […]

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 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. According to the Science Based Targets (SBT) Initiative (SBTi), “SBTs provide a clearly defined pathway for companies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, helping prevent the worst impacts of climate change and future-proof business […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
