Moving some or all of your EDA computing to the cloud enables your company to reduce time-to-market and innovate faster by taking advantage of flexible resources and economies of scale. Siemens teamed up with AMD and Microsoft Azure to demonstrate how using the Calibre platform with cloud computing can dramatically reduce your design closure times. Using a production 7nm design, they achieved a 2.5X speed up in physical verification cycle time.
