This is also what EDA/ASIC design tools need to move to the cloud.



What is EDA/ASIC design tools? AutoCAD?


No, but exotic software people use to design integrated circuits, like a WiFi modem, or a Bitcoin miner. Autodesk, the creator of AutoCAD, sells Eagle, an EDA software. It does not go lower than you can go with a soldering iron, except for allowing solder joints that are better created with hot air / infrared heating, and fancy multi-layer circuit boards with components on the inside.

Much of the EDA world though uses in-house tools, or a mixture of commercial and in-house tooling.


Chip design stuff like Cadence.
