Minimizing EDA Cost Without Impacting R & D Effectiveness

Abstract

Electronic Design Automation (EDA), sometimes referred as Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD), is a process for designing electronic systems. EDA is a key technology enabler of Real-Time Enterprises (RTE). It complements existing enterprise technologies by providing the infrastructure needed to support the event-driven solutions that analyze complex relationships between business events to identify business opportunities, threats, and anomalies. Business users need timely information about significant business activities to improve the quality of the decisions they make and to close the insight-to-action gap. Why is EDA software licensing and administration of EDA software licenses an important point in semiconductor industry by any means? The reason is that present advancements for EDA programming permitting and administration of EDA software licenses have been composed under the suspicion that the license server (purpose behind the approval of the use of a license secured application) and the EDA tools are situated in the same regulatory and system area, and EDA budget causes the second highest budget after employee salaries and also there is a need for effective management of the EDA tool licenses. In this manner, these licenses are given on the premise of named clients or customers (NNU), hostnames (IP-addresses), or consistently as a land site permit for the administrative domain of the firm. In the event that we need to utilize this EDA tool programming in a conveyed benefit situated setup, utilizing resources that are spread crosswise over different administrative domains.
