ABSTRACT:
Provisioning resources in public cloud infrastructure to perform at least part of electronic design automation (EDA) tasks on the public cloud infrastructure. Performance metrics of servers in the public cloud infrastructure and performance history of a user's past EDA tasks are maintained to estimate operation parameters such as runtime of a new EDA task. Based on the estimation, a user can provision appropriate types and amounts of resources in the public cloud infrastructure in a cost-efficient manner. Also, a plurality of EDA tasks are assigned to computing resources in a manner that minimizes the overall cost for performing the EDA tasks.
