Silicon Cloud International was incorporated in 2013 in Singapore. The founders recognized the benefits of modern cloud computing technology for semiconductor design. The cloud is inevitable and the benefits of cloud-based IC design infrastructure include unburdening the user from the cost and complexity of setting up IC design infrastructure, efficient and scalable use of EDA tools and computing hardware (pay-as-you-go), global knowledge sharing and IC design training, and global and collaborative IC design.
However, data and IP security and managing a very wide IC design eco-system have prohibited the launch of an IC design infrastructure in the cloud. Silicon Cloud International provides a technology for security, data tempering, and IP downloading.
