CloudBurst: The Best of Both Worlds
I think if you were starting a new semiconductor company, you would go straight for a cloud-based solution and not bother with the cost and complexity of building up your own datacenter, and the black-belt IT department needed to install and maintain it. Existing semiconductor companies, however, already have a lot of their own on-premises (on-prem) datacenters which are their first choice as a compute resource since they are already on the books as a depreciating asset. However, during peak periods such as tapeout at the end of a design or library characterization at the start, the on-prem resources may be insufficient. A hybrid approach is very attractive. This would use the datacenter when possible and then "burst to the cloud" when those resources are exhausted.
