Description
As complexity in semiconductors and competitiveness in the marketplace increase, so do the demands placed upon compute and storage infrastructure which plays a pivotal role in Electronic Design Automation (EDA). Massive growth of data associated with more complex designs challenges storage and workload management alike. Balancing workloads and data types puts pressure on administrators to deliver application performance and reduce bottlenecks for faster time to market. Please join IBM at this complimentary annual workshop and learn how to bring EDA designs to market faster with improved performance, manageability and ease of use. Our technical experts will show you how to improve delivery schedules by driving EDA application performance and reducing bottlenecks that waste expensive resources. You will hear directly from our developers about the latest features in IBM Spectrum™ LSF® and IBM Spectrum Scale™ while we demonstrate how you can improve operational efficiency.
