Public Cloud Integration offers Best of All Worlds
- Elastic Scalability
> Resources can scale to match bursty workload requirements
- Unlimited Performance
> Resources are essentially infinite...capable of high degrees of parallelism
- Minimal Complexity
> “IT-as-a-Service” abstraction layer eliminates low-level IT headaches
> No more HW upgrades and maintenance > Eliminate restrictive CAPEX commitments

Bursting Parasitic Extraction to the Public Cloud
IP design firm leverages Elastifile and Google Cloud Platform to maximize verification efficiency Challenge
Need to support high-performance, parallel analysis of large data sets Need to run Synopsys StarRC in-cloud, without refactoring Need to align IT costs with bursty workload demands
Need to offload memory-intensive parasitic extraction jobs Solution
Google Cloud Platform for scalable Compute…Elastifile for scalable Storage Elastifile POSIX file system supports existing EDA tools, with no changes required Cost-effective, elastic solution…Spin up Elastifile and GCP Compute only when needed
Elastifile and Google Cloud Platform for elasticity, performance, and cost-effectiveness
