After many years of hesitancy to jump with both feet in, semiconductor companies are seriously considering implementing cloud strategies and making required investments. Their concern though is, how much investment is it going to take? Some of the block-and-tackle challenges they face in implementing a cloud strategy are … Read More
Why burst EDA workloads to the cloud
Time to market challenges are nothing new to those of us who have worked in the semiconductor industry. Each process node brings new opportunities s along with increasingly complex design challenges. 7nm, 5nm and 3nm process nodes have introduced scale, growth, and data challenges at a level… Read More
Data sharing between semiconductor companies and EDA software companies has been critical to the advancement of the industry. But it’s had security issues and associated loss of trust along the way. For instance, there have been cases of customer designs shared as a testcase finding their way into a product demo without the … Read More
In my prior post on NetApp, I discussed how the company’s FlexCache technology can keep distributed design teams in sync. Coordination and collaboration are critical elements of any complex design project. The ability to deliver results quickly while managing the massive amounts of data is also a critical element of success.… Read More
In a recent post, I discussed how NetApp provides comprehensive support for moving your EDA flow to the cloud. In that post, I explored the tools, technologies and services that help design organizations move to the cloud in a coherent, predictable, and incremental manner. Having a smooth-running hybrid/on-premise or… Read More
With this post, we welcome NetApp to the SemiWiki family. NetApp was founded in 1992 with a focus on data storage solutions. Initial market segments were high-performance computing (HPC) and EDA and their first customers were EDA and semiconductor companies. NetApp has become a primary force in on-premise data management for… Read More
