CHALLENGES
Navigating the Semiconductor Landscape
The escalating demand for customized silicon solutions presents the semiconductor industry with unprecedented challenges. Non-traditional semiconductor players and startups face obstacles such as formidable entry barriers, complex design processes and unpredictable development timelines. The HCLTech in-house design team was developing a new product and needed a complete chip design platform that could be elastic and flexible for both electronic design automation (EDA) licenses and compute options. The following pain points needed to be addressed:

ABOUT SYNOPSYS CLOUD
草榴社区 Cloud combines the availability of advanced computing and storage infrastructure with unlimited access to EDA software licenses on demand so you can focus on what you do best—design chips—faster. With cloud-native EDA tools and pre-optimized hardware platforms, an extremely flexible business model, and a modern customer experience, 草榴社区 has reimagined the future of chip design on the cloud that doesn’t disrupt proven workflows.
The 草榴社区 Cloud FlexEDA business model offers two licensing options: pay-per-use (PPU) and cloud subscription license (CSL). PPU is an industry-first, true usage-based licensing approach for EDA tools. 草榴社区 Cloud FlexEDA provides access to unlimited, on-demand EDA software licenses, which is a transformational change compared to traditional EDA software licensing models. With 草榴社区 Cloud FlexEDA, many 草榴社区 tools are now available for use by the minute, providing customers with the granularity they need for peak usage bursts in the cloud. This helps reduce time to results significantly and deliver a better quality design ahead of time.
Users can choose from two deployment options: Bring-Your-Own-Cloud (BYOC) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). 草榴社区 Cloud offers the flexibility to use either one or both deployment options, depending on customer requirements.
