Why We Love Gridware Cluster Scheduler—and Why It Loves Your Workload Too
The Hidden Cost of Underutilized Licenses Commercial engineering and EDA software licenses represent a significant capital investment. These tools can cost tens of thousands of dollars per seat, yet many organizations face a painful dilemma: licenses sit idle while jobs wait in queue, or expensive seats are hoarded by long-running jobs that could share resources…
When your computational workload outgrows a single machine, you enter the realm of multi-node computing. Whether you're running a molecular dynamics simulation that needs hundreds of cores, a self-contained workflow of smaller VCS compilation tasks, or fine-tuning a large language model across multiple GPUs, understanding how to harness multiple compute nodes effectively becomes essential. Multi-node…
