Today’s EDA tools are straining existing computing and storage resources and require a storage solution designed for very high performance and massive storage needs. This paper is for chip vendors, EDA tool vendors, mask merchants, and foundries seeking in excess of 1GB/s sustained throughput and storage capacities of 100TB or more, with superior read/write performance, reliability, and scalability. Semiconductor pre-production processes, driven by shrinking process technologies, require the use of high-performance cluster computing, support for massive file sizes, and the ability to sustain very high performance I/O with faultless streaming during photomask preparation and production. This paper outlines how DataDirect Networks’ storage solution, provides an ideal solution for computing environments that need to keep pace with the exponential increases in data size, complexity, and compute requirements brought about by ever-shrinking node sizes.
