Webinar - The Perfect Storm: Leveraging custom IC design, cloud computing and AI

On November 13, we hosted a webinar with Cadence and Microsoft Azure focused on leveraging custom IC design, cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

During the webinar, we discussed how three different systems can work together to accelerate semiconductor design. Some of the key highlights include:

• An AI-focused platform on Azure aimed at cloud-based chip design
• A look at how AI-powered technology connects to Cadence® Spectre®
• A demonstration of the three technologies in action together

Watch the recording below.

About the partners:

Cadence

Cadence Virtuoso Studio and Cadence Spectre, applications of the Cadence.AI Generative AI Platform, leverage 30 years of industry knowledge and leadership in custom/analog design to give you broader support for ICs and systems including RF, mixed-signal, photonics, and advanced heterogeneous designs. Innovative artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, cloud enablement, infrastructure improvements, and integration across Cadence products complement these design flows, creating a hub for efficiently delivering real designs for the real world.

Microsoft Azure

Modern semiconductor development requires developers to collaborate with third parties such as EDA vendors, IP vendors, and external service providers. Developers working on advanced node designs require modern infrastructure resources that are often inaccessible to enterprises and smaller companies. Cloud-based design environments give customers the scale needed to tackle these challenges. Microsoft’s Azure Modeling and Simulation Workbench offers a secure, AI enabled, scalable engineering environment that enables effortless multi-party collaboration with minimal IT support to accelerate the pace of chip design and reduce time to market.

Mach42

Mach42 is delivering the next step-change in simulation acceleration, leveraging state-of-the-art machine learning and Artificial Intelligence technology to simplify, automate, and accelerate simulation tasks. We leverage proprietary neural network technology to accelerate expensive calculations, and we do it with minimal data and high accuracy, providing many orders of magnitude speedup in verification acceleration. Our platform is already delivering a substantial competitive advantage to our early customers.
