Nvidia to accelerate Siemens chip-design tools using its GPUs
TechCrunch
Nvidia will accelerate Siemens' chip-design software with its GPUs to speed up the computationally intensive chip development process.Summary
Nvidia announced a collaboration with Siemens at CES 2026 to leverage its GPUs for accelerating Siemens’ electronic design automation (EDA) software. This partnership aims to address the increasing computational demands of modern chip design, as features shrink and transistor counts grow. The collaboration also focuses on creating digital twins of chips and entire systems for pre-build testing and validation, as highlighted by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, referencing the potential to create a digital twin of the Vera Rubin Observatory. By utilizing Nvidia’s GPUs, Siemens hopes to significantly speed up the chip-design process and improve efficiency.
