Elastifile Helps eSilicon Burst Demanding Chip Design Workflows to Cloud

SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Elastifile, the pioneer of enterprise-grade, scalable file storage for the public cloud, today announced that eSilicon Corporation, an independent provider of FinFET-class ASICs, market-specific IP platforms and advanced 2.5D packaging solutions, has chosen the Elastifile Cloud File System to support its cloud integration initiatives. By augmenting their on-premises infrastructure with elastic cloud resources, eSilicon is able to minimize their time-to-market within a highly competitive industry.

Complex semiconductor designs require massive compute and storage resources, particularly in the resource-intensive tape-out phase, where compute and storage requirements often grow two to four times larger than required in earlier phases. As a result, eSilicon design flows often utilize thousands of CPU cores and multiple petabytes of storage. Considering both the scale of resources required and the periodic bursts of intensity associated with tape-out, eSilicon decided to leverage the elastic compute and storage resources available in the public cloud. Elastifile's cloud-native file storage played a crucial role in their solution by providing seamless compatibility with existing design tools, while also delivering the scalability and performance required for demanding workloads.

"As we burst into the cloud, it's critical for us to avoid making changes to our design flows and to support our pre-existing, high-performance design tools," said Naidu Annamaneni, Vice President of Global IT at eSilicon Corporation. "With Elastifile, we were able to achieve the native compatibility and performance necessary to support our requirements."
