Design Infrastructure Alley, CELUG Conference at DAC 2019!

  • April 16, 2019
  • Derek Magill
  • 7
  • Cloud, Data Security, Grid Computing, License Management, Storage Management

Register Now!

If you are planning on attending CELUG, simply register for CELUG and you will get floor / Design Infrastructure Alley access.

If you are primarily interested in the Design Infrastructure Alley, be sure to sign up for the FREE “I Love DAC” promotion while it lasts and use promo code DACILDDM.

Sunday Workshop, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM.  Cost:  $300.00

Storage Profiling, Containerization and Cloud for EDA.  Sign up as part of normal DAC registration.

This is very a very exciting addition to our events this year.  The first-ever Workshop we’ve held at DAC and it is going to be very informative!  Be sure you get to Vegas in time for this, as the workshop starts at 8:00 am!

New and exciting IT infrastructure technologies are widely gaining adoption outside of EDA. This workshop focuses on some core capabilities needed by EDA companies in order to begin to embrace these new technologies. In this day-long course, we will cover:

  • Storage Profiling utilizing Ellexus (90 minutes)
    • Tracing application dependencies in detail to provide a bill of materials showing all the locations a flow requires in order to run
    • Collecting system-wide telemetry on storage performance of the above flow
    • Finding applications that have I/O problems or what type of I/O patterns are likely to cause problems
  • How to size storage for Cloud for huge cost savings using Singularity Containers (90 minutes)
    • Introduction to containers and Singularity containers specifically
    • Performance and security considerations when selecting a container technology
    • How to containerize an application for portability using Singularity EDA on AWS (60 minutes)
  • Running Scale-Out Engineering Workloads on the Cloud using Rescale (120 minutes)
    • The attraction of running engineering workloads on the cloud is the promise of scale.  However, running workloads at scale securely in the cloud often requires complicated set-up and development.
    • This workshop will cover how to set-up and run a scale-out engineering workload on Rescale’s turnkey platform.
    • We will review how to monitor the job progress, set limits and budgets, and review results.

CELUG Meeting, Tuesday 8-5, Cost:  $300

The CELUG meeting is a wonderful opportunity for you to collaborate with industry peers as well as suppliers to find out the latest in Enterprise Engineering Licensing.  This full day session costs $300 and includes breakfast and lunch.

Due to some process changes, you will need to sign up for the CELUG meeting here:

Sign up for CELUG Meeting with this link

There will be important presentations on roadmaps as well as member-driven presentations on how to optimize your licensing environment from key companies such as:  Altair, Ansys, Cadence, Flexera, Intel, Mathworks, Mentor Graphics, Northrup Grumman, and Synopsys.

Tuesday Evening Networking Event, Gordon Biersch, Tuesday 7-10

Thanks to our generous sponsors Altair, Amazon Web Services and IBM, we will have heavy appetizers and tickets for beer and wine.  This is a great opportunity to socialize with new connections you’ve made at the Conference or to deep dive on a topic which caught your interest during the day.

    Folks, as you can see, I’ve posted (finally) info for the conference this year!

    There are some very important things to note for this year

    • If you are signing up for the CELUG conference, you NEED to use the special link on the HPC Pros website. Due to some logistics changes this year, we are not listed as part of the checkout process for the “normal” DAC registration. I’m sure we’ll have that cleared up for next year. Signing up for CELUG automatically gets you access to the show floor / DIA area.
    • If you are not signing up for CELUG but want to attend the Design Infrastructure Alley, please use the regular DAC signup. At the first screen, you can check a box marked “I have a promo code”. Use code DACILDDM and then in the registration area later, select “I Love DAC” to get in for free.
    • We have a Workshop this year, entitled “Storage Profiling, Containerization and Cloud for EDA”. It is going to be really awesome, and I really encourage everyone to attend if you can! It’s $300 and it starts Sunday, June 2 at 8:00 AM. This is very different for us. You will want to get in on Saturday, June 1 to make it on time.
    • Tuesday’s Evening Networking Event will be 7-10 at Gordon Biersch, which is close to the Convention Center. Appetizers, beer and wine will be served.

    It’s going to be a great conference this year and I hope to all of you there!

    Unfortunately, I’ve heard that someone tried to use the CELUG link to register and got an error. I’m working that with the DAC organizers now and will send an update when I know more.

    Derek, can you please clarify this for me?

    The Sunday Workshop is $300

    And

    The Tuesday CELUG Conference is $300

    I noticed that the Sunday Workshops on the DAC registration rates differentiate between IEEE member and non-member status. The CELUG Sunday workshop just charges
    $300 period.

    I just want o make sure I ask for the right amount of funding.

    Hi Mary,

    Yes, the workshop is a separate item and you can get to it via the “normal” DAC registration page. I suppose it may be a different price depending on ACM/IEEE membership. I didn’t realize it, but sounds plausible.

    CELUG is $300 regardless of affiliation.

    Hope you’re able to get all the funding you need!
