In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, Cadence's collaboration with NVIDIA is driving innovation and progress across semiconductor design, automotive, robotics, and more. We are advancing the AI era by co-optimizing software and hardware to take full advantage of accelerated compute and AI so that we can enable engineers to tackle the great challenges facing society. This collaboration is poised to not only reduce the carbon footprint of AI data centers but also lead to advances in digital biology and drug discovery, setting new standards in the industry. As part of his CadenceLIVE 2024 keynote, Cadence President and CEO Dr. Anirudh Devgan discussed Cadence's advances in AI. He stressed the need for a physics-based middle layer between the data intelligence (AI) layer and the accelerated compute (hardware) layer. It's this middle layer that has driven the historical advances in EDA and where Cadence can help deliver unique value. Modern accelerated compute now unlocks the ability for this physics-based simulation and optimization to generate large, accurate data sets to train new AI systems to help solve scientific challenges across domains.
Cadence has a mission to help solve technology's toughest challenges to make a lasting, positive impact on our world, highlighting the company's commitment to environmental stewardship and empowering employees to become ambassadors for sustainability both within and beyond the organization. The Mission Sustainable Ideation Challenge encourages employees to contribute innovative ideas to advance the company's sustainability objectives. Ideas cover many areas, including water management, zero waste, energy efficiency, and supply chain optimization. Cadence has identified and showcased the most promising challenge ideas through a collaborative process involving leadership committees and judging panels. The top entrants had the opportunity to present their ideas to an executive panel and Cadence employees, further fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. The Mission Sustainable program has sparked enthusiasm and engagement across Cadence, empowering employees to actively drive sustainability initiatives. By harnessing the collective creativity and expertise of its workforce, Cadence is making strides towards its sustainability goals and inspiring others to join the journey towards a more sustainable future.
Cadence Creates Industry’s First LLM Technology for Chip Design In the nine short months since OpenAI brought ChatGPT (a Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) and the phenomenal concept of large language models (LLMs) to the global collective consciousness, pioneers from every corner of the economy have raced to understand the benefits—and the pitfalls—of deploying this nascent technology to their particular industry. And as it turns out, semiconductor chip design is a perfect candidate. Cadence is no stranger to generative AI, of which LLMs are one aspect. Our broad generative AI portfolio spans system design from chip to package to printed circuit board, with the Cadence Joint Enterprise Data and AI (JedAI) Platform at its heart. Our current applications focus on chip design optimization, automation, and acceleration in the later stages of implementation. Yet it’s in the initial, human-led design process where bugs and bottlenecks are most likely to occur—and we can put LLM strengths to good use. Read more on our blog about how we are making public the first robust proof of concept of an LLM in chip design.
Going Global with LGBTQ+ Pride at Cadence In recognition of LGBTQ+ Pride month, we honored and celebrated the LGBTQ+ global community by hosting special events with inspiring speakers and partner organizations. This year, we reflected on the importance of creating safe space at work and building allyship with the LGBTQ+ community. We recently interviewed our LGBTQ+ Inclusion Group leaders, Karna Nisewaner, Executive Sponsor and Corporate VP, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary, and Rene Spring, Global LGBTQ+ Group Lead and Program Management Director, and chatted more about their thoughts on the inclusion group’s role in supporting our LGBTQ+ employees, how global visibility can impact engagement, and ways we can all be champions of Cadence’s commitment to diversity in 2023.
