Electronic Design Automation
IBM Power servers deliver a winning combination of speed, flexibility, and reliability that makes them the best choice for the most demanding applications, especially for computational fluid dynamics and finite element simulations. No server continually delivers value to your business like IBM Power does. CPUs and showed superior performance with Power10.
VALIDATE INTEGRATED CIRCUITS IN RECORD TIME
Today’s modern integrated circuits can take hours and hours to validate using leading IC validation software. The licenses for those tools are expensive, and engineers’ time is even more expensive. So if you’re running any of the leading validation applications, you save money and get through more design iterations if you have the fastest available platform.
Nobody does a shared memory space like IBM, which is why for IC validation workloads, our hot-rodded E1050’s 960 hardware threads, fed by up to 16 TB of RAM at a blistering 4.8 TB/s of memroy bandwidth churns through validation jobs like nothing else.
With a variety of leading EDA products already on Power and more on the way, there’s never been a better time than now to move your workloads to the platform with the deepest, widest memory architecture on the market.
RELIABLE, SECURE PERFORMANCE
The most demanding EDA workloads can take hours or even days to run. Server outage means your work isn’t getting done, and as aggressive as today’s silicon design cycles are, you can’t afford to delay a release just because your server blew a DIMM. IBM Power is 100x more reliable than the next leading server platform, and ofer 4000x more reliable than mainstream servers.
IC designs are also sensitive, business-critical data. IBM Power’s reliability is more than high-quality parts. It’s industry-leading security technology, ensuring that your data won’t get compromised by hackers or ransomeware attacks.
HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING FOR ELECTRONIC DESIGN AUTOMATIONS
In addition to their history as rock-solid business machines, IBM Power servers draw on a legacy of record-setting supercomputers to deliver performance at a combination of scale and reliability unmatched by anything on x86. We benchmarked a popular open-source finite element code, OpenRadioss, against some of the leading Xeon CPUs and showed superior performance with Power10.
