NVIDIA (NVDA) announced partnerships with industrial software companies Cadence, Dassault Systèmes, Siemens and Synopsys to develop AI-powered tools for design, engineering and manufacturing workflows, according to a press release.
The companies are building AI agents using NVIDIA’s NeMo platform and CUDA-X libraries to automate complex chip and system design processes. Cadence introduced its ChipStack AI SuperAgent for semiconductor design and verification, while Siemens developed the Fuse EDA AI Agent for semiconductor and circuit board workflows.
Major manufacturers including Samsung, SK hynix, TSMC, Honda, Mercedes-Benz and MediaTek are implementing NVIDIA-accelerated software tools. Honda reported achieving 34x faster aerodynamic simulations using Synopsys’ Ansys Fluent on NVIDIA Grace Blackwell platform compared to CPU-based systems.
Cloud providers Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure are offering NVIDIA GPU-accelerated software for computational design and engineering. Hardware manufacturers Dell Technologies, HPE and Supermicro are shipping NVIDIA-accelerated systems for on-premises deployments.
Samsung and SK hynix are using NVIDIA-accelerated tools from multiple software partners on Dell PowerEdge servers and HPE systems for memory production workflows. MediaTek reported 6x acceleration in chip design processes using Cadence Spectre with NVIDIA H100 GPUs.
The partnerships extend to manufacturing applications, with companies like KION, PepsiCo and HD Hyundai using Siemens’ Digital Twin Composer with NVIDIA Omniverse libraries to create industrial simulation environments. KION is developing autonomous warehouse solutions using NVIDIA Jetson-based forklifts with digital twin technology.
The announcements were made at NVIDIA’s GTC conference. The company’s CEO Jensen Huang described the developments as part of a "new industrial revolution" involving physical AI and autonomous agents.
