Leveraging Cloud-Scale Infrastructure to Accelerate Silicon Tape-Outs using ARM core Graviton processors.

Siemens EDA / Amazon
Abstract
Key results include a 70% reduction in physical verification DRC compute runtime through distributed scaling and the utilization of Amazon EC2 on-demand ARM core instances, alongside a dramatic improvement in time-to-market for successive generations of Graviton CPUs, Trainium, and Inferentia accelerators. This study demonstrates that immediate access to the latest compute hardware enables a continuous scaling to optimize turnaround times to meet tapeout schedule requirements.
