Cloud computing is usually defined to deliver infrastructure, platform and software as services, which is available as a pay-as-you-go model for users. A paradigm of Cloud computing for EDA service is presented in this paper, and a hierarchical architecture of Web-EDA system implemented with Cloud computing is described in detail. Based on this proposed system structure, we developed a prototype of the Web-EDA system for sharing EDA Tools and project management of IC design. It shows that Cloud computing for EDA service is possible to be implemented distributedly and brings maximum benefit to both users and vendors.
