Revolutionizing EDA: AI-Powered Log Analysis Accelerates Verification with Zero-Copy Data Access
  • The agentic path streams log files directly from FSx for ONTAP through an S3 access point, enabling cross-file correlation to pinpoint root causes such as AXI timeout failures.

  • The system supports dashboards and automations, including QuickSight for regression-health dashboards and Quick Automate for scheduled triage and alerts.

  • EDA verification teams generate large nightly logs (from simulation, compilation, and scheduling) that are difficult to triage by hand.

  • This approach avoids moving data and provides zero-copy access to logs for AI analytics, accelerating verification closure.

  • The solution could extend to other EDA workflows that produce logs on NFS, such as synthesis timing, physical verification, and power analysis outputs.

  • All components operate within the customer VPC with read-only S3 access-point permissions for AI services, while NFS remains the write path for EDA tools.

  • Two analysis paths exist: a knowledge-base path using Amazon Quick for quick summaries and an agentic path using AgentCore with an MCP gateway for deep, cross-file investigation.

  • The RAG path in Amazon Quick builds a knowledge base by indexing logs to deliver fast, natural-language answers about nightly failures.

  • AgentCore MCP gateway offers List, Read, and Search capabilities to autonomously traverse directories and read multiple logs to generate triage reports.

  • FSx for NetApp ONTAP stores logs on NFS and exposes them via an S3 access point through the S3 API without requiring data movement.
