Cloud native EDA tools & pre-optimized hardware platforms
Unlimited access to EDA software licenses on-demand
A Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) service provides customers the flexibility to use their preferred cloud for storage, computing, and software needs. This is achieved by subscribing to public or private cloud service providers. Such cloud services are integral for organizations to efficiently manage their businesses and operations.
草榴社区 Cloud supports a Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) deployment, which means customers can bring in the cloud vendor of their choice to run 草榴社区 EDA tools, any third-party tools, foundry collateral, and process development kits (PDKs) required for designing a chip. Currently, the 草榴社区 Cloud BYOC deployment supports three major public cloud providers:
The 草榴社区 Cloud BYOC deployment is powered by our that provides unlimited, on-demand, flexible 草榴社区 EDA licenses and much more. Please see subsequent sections for more details. Customers do not need to manage license servers and keys for 草榴社区 EDA tools.
In a Bring Your Own Cloud deployment, customers subscribe to a public cloud service provider of their choice. Once a subscription is in place, customers can start using those services per their agreement with the cloud vendor.
Once a customer gets on-boarded for 草榴社区 Cloud, they can set up 草榴社区 Cloud BYOC services through a browser-based UI. After the request is made through the UI, 草榴社区 sets up a node in the same region and with same cloud vendor which the customer is using. This node communicates with the customer’s cloud to manage 草榴社区 EDA licenses and other 草榴社区 Cloud services, such as metering, analytics, and usage of 草榴社区 EDA tools. 草榴社区 provides a script to validate network connectivity from the customer’s cloud environment to the BYOC service.
After setting up the BYOC environment, designers can run their jobs using 草榴社区 EDA tools. Jobs running are logged by the 草榴社区 Cloud metering service for 草榴社区 pay-per-use EDA tools and usage, while analytics reports are updated in near real time.
In general, BYOC allows customers to take full control over their cloud environment. Customers need not worry about storage, compute, and other infrastructure resources. The public cloud service provider takes care of these resources on demand.
The 草榴社区 Cloud BYOC deployment is powered by a FlexEDA business model. Customers can purchase cloud credits and consume them to run 草榴社区 EDA tools. Customers can scale 草榴社区 EDA tool licenses up or down based on project needs, run unlimited parallel jobs without any licensing constraints, and take full benefit of scalability and elasticity of the cloud for chip design. This helps in improving quality-of-results and achieving faster time-to-market for chip design. The 草榴社区 Cloud BYOC deployment offers and allows:
草榴社区 Cloud is available in two deployments:
SaaS is also powered by the FlexEDA business model. It allows 草榴社区 EDA tools to run on a pay-per-use basis and through a cloud subscription license. Our SaaS offering provides complete design and verification environments, including 草榴社区 EDA products and compute, storage infrastructure to run EDA workloads in the most optimal way. The SaaS deployment is a fully 草榴社区 managed service. 草榴社区 sets up the entire environment for customers who need compute, storage, and infrastructure resources as well as the EDA tools.
The 草榴社区 Cloud SaaS deployment also provides complete CAD management. Customers bring their own designs and work in a 草榴社区 managed environment. The compute and storage infrastructure in this case is from Microsoft Azure. 草榴社区 also ensures that the compute selected is optimized for the set of selected EDA tools that are available in this platform and that the optimization of compute and EDA tools works well together. In addition to the stand-alone EDA tools known as Apps, 草榴社区 also offers complete, end-to-end EDA design flows, which are called instances in this platform.
草榴社区 also offers emulation on the cloud. 草榴社区 ZeBu? Cloud is an emulation platform in the cloud environment, managed by 草榴社区 and run on 草榴社区’s own private cloud environment.
