Open type integrated circuit collaborative design cloud platform and method thereof

Abstract

An open type integrated circuit collaborative design cloud platform is characterized by comprising an online project management and collaborative design module, an IP encryption and authorization management module, an EDA cloud service module and an AI aided design service module. The online project management and collaborative design module, the IP encryption and authorization management module,the EDA cloud service module and the AI aided design service module work based on a network server of a cloud platform front-end workstation and an application server cluster of a cloud platform rear-end distributed cluster. An open type integrated circuit collaborative design method is characterized by comprising an online project management and collaborative design step, an IP encryption and authorization management step, an EDA cloud service step and an AI aided design step. According to the invention, the legitimate rights and interests of IP authors or IP providers can be effectively protected, and bad enterprises are prevented from carrying out localized reverse cracking on IPs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of integrated circuit design, in particular to an open integrated circuit collaborative design cloud platform and a method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of integrated circuit (Integrate Circuit, IC) design level and process technology, the scale of integrated circuits is getting larger and larger, the scale and complexity of chip design are also increasing sharply, and the process flow is specialized. However, in the field of integrated circuits, companies such as Intel in the United States and Samsung in South Korea have a long history of development and rich technology accumulation, which means that subsequent integrated circuit companies will face many difficulties if they want to set foot in the field of integrated circuits and break the monopoly situation. . The three major dilemmas currently facing the chip design field include: [0003] (1) The phenomenon of IP monopoly is seriou...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The monopolistic behavior of the integrated circuit industry not only seriously hinders the fair competition and healthy development of the industry, but also poses a huge security risk, because many IPs only have interfaces, and the internal structure and behavior are not public, and it is very easy to have a back door

[0005] (2) The phenomenon of EDA software monopoly is serious, and it is difficult for other excellent characteristic EDA software to have development opportunities

However, the IP protection method based on digital watermark needs to change the chip, which should be considered at the beginning of the chip design. It is difficult to change the designed chip, because the change may affect the function of the chip

It can be seen that technologies such as encryption and digital watermark alone cannot realize online interoperable IP transaction protection and tracking

[0011] (2) For the monopoly of EDA software, since the formation of EDA tools is not achieved overnight, it needs to be gradually formed with the continuous growth and development of the integrated circuit industry, so once the common development period is missed, it is difficult to start from scratch in this mode
