Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for delivering electronic design automation (EDA) libraries using a geographically distributed private cloud including EDA design centers and EDA library stores, the method comprising: receiving information describing EDA projects, each EDA project associated with EDA design centers in a private cloud; receiving information describing EDA libraries, each EDA library stored at a library store in the private cloud; associating an EDA library with a set of EDA projects by matching the information describing the EDA library with information describing the EDA projects; for each EDA project in the set of EDA projects, determining a project stage requiring the EDA library; determining a data delivery model for transmitting the EDA library to a set of design centers hosting the EDA projects in the set of EDA projects; and scheduling a delivery of the EDA library to each design center in the set of design centers based on a deadline associated with the project stage requiring the EDA library.
