Case Study: Inphi Corporation achieves 10× faster scheduling and accelerated semiconductor design with Altair Accelerator

Inphi Corporation Speeds Up Semiconductor Design with Altair Accelerator

Inphi Corporation, a leader in high‑speed data‑movement interconnects and optical subsystems, needed to accelerate semiconductor design while maximizing costly EDA license and HPC hardware utilization. To address this, Inphi selected Altair and its Altair Accelerator job‑scheduling solution to improve throughput and efficiency across its compute infrastructure.

Altair implemented Accelerator, a high‑throughput, license‑aware scheduler for complex HPC and EDA workloads, enabling Inphi to manage distributed clusters and optimize license use. The result: scheduling performance roughly ten times faster than competing solutions, significant efficiency and cost savings, increased design exploration by engineers, and faster time to market thanks to Altair’s solution.
