Abstract :
In this paper, we introduce the RDS system that is used by Skyworks´ design community to perform design tasks. Integration of EDA tools, design kits, and environment infrastructure is introduced. A centralized computing pool to leverage computing power with effective cost structure is discussed. We elaborate on multi-site and project data management to ensure data integrity. We also describe the PDK concept and optimized hybrid design flows used by Skyworks´ design teams.
