Altair Accelerator is a cutting-edge job scheduler built for the high demands of semiconductor design, electronic design automation (EDA), and high-performance computing (HPC). It features a scalable, event-driven architecture designed to run millions of jobs daily with sub-millisecond latency for optimal throughput. The platform offers flexible scheduling models, comprehensive policy management, and complete visibility into job resources such as CPU, memory, and licenses. Accelerator is ideal for both small and large compute environments, providing enhanced job prioritization, job preemption, and rapid scaling for cost-efficient cloud workloads. The Plus version adds hierarchical scheduling and comprehensive GUI visibility, making it even easier to manage complex, distributed systems. It’s the ideal solution for high-capacity environments that need to maximize resource utilization and streamline workflows.

Features:

• High Throughput: Capable of running millions of jobs per day with sub-millisecond dispatch latency, maximizing design throughput and capacity.
• Comprehensive Policy Management: Includes FairShare and preemption to optimize resource usage and workload prioritization.
• Job Prioritization: Supports job preemption and reservations to prioritize urgent jobs without interfering with others.
• Rapid Scaling for Cloud: Optimized for scaling cloud resources efficiently, reducing cloud costs by adjusting resource allocation based on demand.
• Job Visibility & Productivity: Provides a clear view of job statuses, including completed, failed, or pending jobs, with tools for failure identification and resolution.
• Accelerator Plus Features: Adds hierarchical job scheduling, multi-layer event-driven scheduling, and more detailed visibility with a full-featured GUI.
• Custom Alerts and Notifications: Enables customizable alerts to keep track of job statuses and system resources.
