EDA in the cloud: shall we be scared?
Today’s cloud market is hard to estimate and depends a lot on the analyst. One report predicts that the global cloud computing market is expected to grow from $37.8 billion in 2010 to $121.1 billion in 2015, with SaaS (Software as a Service) contributing for three quarter of this market. Regardless of the actual size, cloud computing means to commoditize processing power, leading to economy of scale and flexibility.
I wrote, like many others, that cloud-based EDA solutions are inevitable: there is no magic algorithm that will reduce the ever-increasing complexity of designing and verifying a digital device (FPGA, ASIC, or SW/HW co-design). The only way to keep pace with the complexity is massive parallelism.
