Independently developed by Physim Electronic Technology Co Ltd – a resident company in Lin-gang's International Collaborative Innovation Zone – it is understood that the platform can realize the rapid analysis of signal integrity, power integrity, heat and heat dissipation in system designs and offer the best cost options.

The initiative is the first cloud platform put into operation in the Information Flying Fish global digital economy innovation island – an industry park focusing on the information sector, set up in the International Collaborative Innovation Zone in June 2020.

In addition, a cloud industrial alliance named "Anxin" was established and eight companies and universities – including Physim Electronic Technology, Shanghai Dianji University and the Shanghai Maritime University – signed a strategic alliance agreement on it the same day.

Moving forwards, plans are for the alliance to further coordinate the development of the IC industry, achieve a breakthrough in the Electronic Design Automation industry and resolve technical barriers – to promote the coordinated development of the entire supply chain of the semiconductors industry.
