Arm Ltd., whose chip designs can be found in everything from smartphones to data centers, will move most of the electronic design automation applications used by its engineers to Amazon Web Services Inc.’s cloud platform.
The project was detailed by AWS this morning.
Modern processors contain billions of transistors organized into logic gates, which are in turn organized into more complex components such as caches and artificial intelligence accelerators. It’s impossible for chip engineers to work out every single detail by hand. As a result, they automate parts of the workflow using specialized applications known as electronic design automation or EDA tools, which are the central focus of Arm’s newly announced cloud deal with AWS.
