By DE Editors

Altair Engineering, Inc.  has announced that Dr. Bill Nitzberg, the chief technology officer for its on-demand computing division, PBS GridWorks, will discuss cloud computing as a viable solution to cost-effectively manage complex EDA compute workloads during the upcoming Design Automation Conference in San Francisco on Wednesday, July 29, beginning at 2:30 p.m.

"Cost-effective cloud computing requires powerful tools that can match constantly changing workloads with available resources to more efficiently use all resources," said Dr. Nitzberg. "The benefits allow companies and organizations of all sizes to maximize the utilization of HPC resources, make data-driven IT planning and purchasing decisions, manage complex application workloads and minimize the energy consumed by computing assets."

The 46th Design Automation Conference (DAC) convenes in San Francisco. DAC features an array of technical presentations, plus more than 200 electronics design suppliers.
