IC industry has made great progress in the recent
years. However, restricted by the funds and budget, resources of
IC design and test are imbalanced. This paper describes an
architecture of Cloud-EDA Platform based on Cloud Computing,
which is the most popular topic of the internet and IT industry
for its high flexibility and low cost. According to the proposed
architecture, we design the prototype of Cloud-EDA Platform
and develop an application of test-pattern-conversion, which
demonstrate that cloud computing can be combined with IC
industry to enable ordinary users, app developers and EDA
vendors to achieve a win-win-win result.
