Pool of server cluster consist of various version of Linux platform depending on project type and EDA software requirements. Most of EDA design software are running on this cluster and controlled by configuration management service to maintain all servers have same configuration and policy.
EDA engineering IT team have multiple policy based on designer’s job role, project priority and EDA software requirements to allocate reasonable amount of cluster resources to each chip designer. Sometime network latency is important for remote working designer and some EDA software require very high memory over 512G.
