Cadence Design Systems announced two AI-related collaborations at its CadenceLIVE event this week, expanding its work with Nvidia and introducing new integrations with Google Cloud. The Nvidia partnership focuses on combining AI with physics-based simulation and accelerated computing for robotic systems and system-level design. The companies said the approach targets modelling and deployment in semiconductors and large-scale AI infrastructure, including robotic systems that Nvidia describes as physical AI . Cadence is integrating its multi-physics simulation and system design tools with Nvidia’s CUDA-X libraries, AI models, and Omniverse-based simulation environment. The tools model thermal and mechanical interactions so engineers can assess how systems behave under real-world operating conditions. They also extend beyond chip design to cover infrastructure components like networking and power systems. The combined platform lets engineers simulate system behaviour before physical deployment.…
