Semiconductor production relies on resources and partners far beyond what is needed for design and verification. This includes working with tool vendors, IP providers, foundries, contract manufacturing, and consumers.

Semiconductor product development is constantly pushing the boundaries of physics to meet power, performance, and area (PPA) requirements for silicon devices. Electronic design automation (EDA) workflows, from RTL to GDSII, require that scale-out architectures keep up with the constantly changing semiconductor design process.

The elasticity of the cloud puts virtually unlimited compute capacity at our fingertips, and it can enable companies to quickly scale up in ways they couldn't before, which helps them get results faster. In this workshop, you deploy an AWS reference implementation that provides a full-stack, dynamic computing environment that includes a web UI, a workload manager, remote desktops, directory...
