ROUTING AND DELIVERY OF DATA FOR ELECTRONIC DESIGN AUTOMATION WORKLOADS IN GEOGRAPHICALLY DISTRIBUTED CLOUDS

摘要

Electronic design automation (EDA) libraries are delivered using a geographically distributed private cloud including EDA design centers and EDA library stores. EDA projects associated with an EDA library are determined by matching information describing the EDA library with information describing the projects. A set of design centers hosting the projects is determined. A data delivery model is determined for transmitting the EDA library to the design centers. The EDA library is scheduled for delivery to the design centers based on a deadline associated with a project stage that requires the EDA library. Network links with specialized hardware for transmitting data are determined in the private cloud by measuring their deterioration in performance on increase of data transmission load. These links are used for delivering EDA libraries expected to be used urgently for a stage of an EDA project.
