Rendering system for semiconductor process data in server-client architecture

A server device comprising:

• a collection server configured to (i) obtain source data from an external data source and (ii) generate, based on the source data, compressed process data and metadata with respect to the compressed process data;
• a distributed server configured to store the compressed process data received from the collection server;
• a central server configured to store (i) the metadata received from the collection server and (ii) a rendering lookup table;
• and
• a computing server,
• wherein the central server is configured to:
• receive a rendering request from a client device, and
• determine to perform client-side rendering (CSR) or server-side rendering (SSR), based on the rendering request and the rendering lookup table, and
• wherein the distributed server is configured to:
• based on determining to perform the CSR, transmit the compressed process data to the client device, and
• based on determining to perform the SSR, transmit the compressed process data to the computing server, and
• wherein the computing server is configured to, based on determining to perform the SSR, receive the compressed process data from the distributed server, decode and render the compressed process data, and transmit the rendered data to the client device, and
• wherein the rendering request comprises information about features of process data to be rendered, and
• wherein the rendering lookup table comprises rendering rule information for determining to perform the CSR or the SSR, based on the features of the process data.

A client device comprising:

• a display;
• a storage configured to store a rendering lookup table;
• an input interface;
• a communication interface configured to communicate with a server device;
• and
• at least one processor,
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• receive a rendering request from a user via the input interface,
• determine to perform client-side rendering (CSR) or server-side rendering (SSR), based on the rendering request and the rendering lookup table,
• based on a result of a determination to perform the CSR or the SSR,, receive data corresponding to the result of the determination from the server device via the communication interface, and
• based on the received data corresponding to the result of the determination, control the display to display an image corresponding to the rendering request,
• wherein the rendering request comprises information about features of process data to be rendered, and
• wherein the rendering lookup table comprises rendering rule information for determining to perform the CSR or the SSR, based on the features of the process data.
