## Nvidia and Siemens: Faster Chip Design At CES 2026, Nvidia announced a collaboration with Siemens to optimize the execution of Siemens' EDA (Electronic Design Automation) software on Nvidia GPUs. This initiative aims to significantly accelerate the chip design process. Nearly all modern chips are designed using EDA tools. The increasing complexity of chips, due to miniaturization and the increasing number of transistors, makes the design process increasingly demanding in terms of computing resources. The deliveries of this collaboration are eagerly awaited in the sector. ## General Context The chip design industry is constantly evolving, with a growing demand for computing power to handle the complexity of new designs. The use of GPUs to accelerate EDA workloads represents a significant step forward, allowing designers to explore different architectures more quickly and optimize chip performance.
