Jon Peddie Research Hosts One-Day Conference on Changes, Impact of Virtualization and Remote Graphics on Engineering, Graphics, CAD, M&E

Tiburon, CA – Jon Peddie Research will host “Virtualize” – a one-day, in-depth conference on Oct 29 at the San Francisco Airport Hyatt. Designed to help engineering, graphics, CAD and media & entertainment professionals, the event will focus on the current state of virtualization and remote graphics, trends and forecasts to help organizations enhance graphic throughput and performance more economically. 

 The event will bring together some of the industry’s leading virtualization and GPU professionals and influencers to discuss the latest advances in the world of graphic collaboration that will speed the development of high value graphics for films, games, engineering/design. With the introduction of next generation of GPUs, executives will explore how organizations can more economically and quickly deliver higher quality, more involved graphics by enabling specialists to collaborate from anywhere, at anytime and using any machine. 

The event will start with a panel discussion on topics including:

  • What is the definition of “virtualization”?
  • What does the virtualize landscape look like today? What will it look like tomorrow?
  • Who within an organization should care about developing such a capability, nurturing influencer relationships? (i.e., the users who may be resistant to having to share a GPU)
  • And, more!

A new generation of comprehensive server-based hardware solutions is now available that will enable exciting 3D graphics experience with the industry’s leading workstation, server suppliers as well as enriched support from remote-hosting software suppliers. Attendees will gain an impartial discussion of the strengths/weaknesses and pros/cons of the available hardware/software products and services so they can cost-effectively plan their specific product/development roadmaps and avoid costly mistakes.  

“The new products and technologies go by a variety of names,” Peddie emphasized but have a common objective – move data and heavy computation/rendering away from distributed desktops to centralized, remotely accessible resources. Increasingly resource optimization will enable designers and engineers to do more economically and more rapidly.”

Panelists during the day’s event will include Ben Bajarin, Creative Strategies; Nathan Brookwood, Founder and senior analyst, Insight64; and Kevin Krewell, Principal analyst, Trias Research. They and other industry leaders will provide a comprehensive look at the remote graphics and virtualization visualization technologies market. They will help attendees determine how, when and why they should move workstation applications from local systems to remote computing environments. 

Registration for the one-day Virtualize conference is $200. Early Birds discount registration is now available through September 30th at http://jonpeddie.com/events/details/jpr-virtualize-2015.  Complete details regarding the October 29, 2015 Virtualize Conference at the SFO Hyatt Regency, Burlingame, CA, can be obtained at the site or contact Judy@jonpeddie.com for more information.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
