Join us in this hands-on workshop to learn how to deploy and optimize large language models (LLMs) for scalable inference at enterprise scale. Participants will learn to orchestrate distributed LLM serving with vLLM on Amazon EKS, enabling robust, flexible, and highly available deployments. The session demonstrates how to utilize AWS Trainium hardware within EKS to maximize throughput and cost efficiency, leveraging Kubernetes-native features for automated scaling, resource management, and seamless integration with AWS services.

Today’s AI designs stress verification teams to an unprecedented extent. The compound complexity from software, hardware, interfaces, and architecture options leads to the challenge of running quadrillions of verification cycles across IP, sub-systems, SoCs, and Multi-die designs. Learn how industry leaders like AMD, Arm, Nvidia, and others address these challenges with Synopsys’ latest family of Hardware-Assisted Verification products, modularity of verification, and mixed-fidelity execution setups using virtual prototyping, emulation, and FPGA-based prototyping.
