China's first "Electronic Design Automation Cloud" published

November 2012, IBM and the National Technology Co., Ltd. jointly announced that the first IBM in the field of chip design "Electronic design automation Cloud" in national technology officially online. The electronic design Automation cloud Platform is the best practice and Reference Architecture of the electronic design cloud designed and developed by IBM for its own chip design.

The development of this technology not only enables the building of the End-to-end Smart Desktop Cloud (smart Desktop Cloud) and the IT Infrastructure grid Computing Farm, but is also expected to help users improve the efficiency of existing IT systems in future development, Reduce costs, form a cooperative research and development, flexible deployment of new research and development model, to enhance the chip research and development core competitiveness to provide strong support.

  Customer challenges in recent years, China's chip industry with the overall take-off of China's economy has been a huge development, various types of chip design and production enterprises continue to emerge, the market capacity continues to increase, industry competition is growing. How to enhance the core research and development capability and efficiency of China's chip industry, shorten the time of product entering the market on the basis of building modern chip research and development system, has become the key for Chinese chip enterprises to seek industry breakthrough. As the leading enterprise of the domestic security chip and communication RF chip, the national technology has made a series of important breakthroughs in Soc design, 2.4GHz mobile payment innovation technology, communication products and solutions, and has formed its own characteristics of technical advantages and research and development capabilities. In the face of the increasingly fierce market competition pressure, national technology to break the original independent workstation design mode limitations, and actively seek new technologies and models to achieve their own research and development capabilities of further improvement.  IBM Cloud Computing Solutions IBM has many years of experience in chip design and production around the world, and through strong research and development capabilities, so that its products have been in the industry's leading position. IBM has a total of 7 advanced design centers worldwide, with more than 1500 designers engaged in IC design. In order to further enhance their research and development capabilities and efficiency, IBM Texas Austin Innovation Design Center in 2009 began to implement the chip development of the electronic design cloud platform, and in 2010 successfully implemented a variety of resource integration and platform construction. Supported by this platform, IBM's global IC designers can easily share resources and collaborate on research and development, which shortens the design cycle of a single IC from 24 months to 18 months and shortens time-to-market by 40%. This provides IBM with a unique competitive advantage in today's highly competitive market environment.  IBM Electronic Design automation cloud is expected to help national technology to achieve two key constructs: • End-to-end smart Desktop Cloud (Smart Desktop Cloud): According to the current number and layout of national technology research and development personnel, IBM for National Technology deployment of the corresponding desktop cloud client. Through different authority settings, can effectively manage the different regions of the research and development team in the same research and development projects, the environment coordination work. Dances Infrastructure grid resource pool (grid Computing Farm): IBM Builds IT infrastructure network resource pool to help national technology to manage and distribute computing resources uniformly. When developers need to invoke computational resources, the demand command is transmitted to the National Technology Data Center in Shenzhen for analysis and automatic resource allocation, the application efficiency is greatly improved.   Customer Value National Technology Co., Ltd. Executive director Jianbo said: "In the face of the rapid development of chip industry at home and abroad, how to enhance the chip research and development capabilities and efficiency has been our core competitiveness to build the key." IBM has the world's leading chip development capabilities and a wealth of global practices in the field of cloud computing, and we expectThe implementation of the ' Electronic Design Automation Cloud ' project promotes the company to build an efficient and innovative research and development infrastructure to further enhance the core capabilities of chip design. After the successful implementation of the   Electronic design Automation Cloud project, will be expected to promote the national technology chip design and development in three areas to gain the leading edge: • Enhance research and development efficiency: through the cloud platform, the National technology research and development personnel in the context of information security, to enhance the efficiency of computing speed and resource allocation, shorten the development process, Accelerate the market for products. • Reduce research and development costs: through the cloud Platform for enterprise computing Resources Integration Management, national technology IT application efficiency will be improved, the development of the people's IT support will be more powerful, it is expected to reduce research and development inputs and costs. • Strengthen information security management: Introduce the classification of different research and development personnel management, and through the research and development personnel login management and the different developers to achieve the rights of research and development personnel, information management, to ensure information security. Facing the increasingly fierce market competition and fast changing market environment, technology-driven change has become an important way for many enterprises to find their way out and get breakthroughs. The National Technology "Electronic Design Automation Cloud" project implementation, will be our country chip design and production industry to realize industry breakout, build core chip research and development ability to bring huge impetus.   "Responsible editor: Zhang Yu TEL: (010) 68476606"
