Cadence focuses on AI for next-generation chip design

Cadence has announced the integration of an artificial intelligence-based "super agent" into its Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools. The goal is to assist engineers in designing increasingly complex chips, with the ambition of managing projects that will reach a trillion transistors by 2030.

AI will be used to automate and improve the debugging and verification phases, which are crucial for ensuring the reliability and performance of the latest generation of chips. The increasing complexity of projects makes it increasingly difficult for engineers to identify and correct errors manually, making AI an indispensable tool.

For those considering on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider in terms of initial (CapEx) and operational (OpEx) costs, as well as the need for adequate infrastructure to support AI workloads. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
