Synopsys & NVIDIA Advance Agentic AI for Chip Design

Synopsys, Inc. has announced advancements in agentic AI for engineering, in collaboration with NVIDIA. They've developed fully autonomous, long-running agentic capabilities for chip and electronics system design. This solution uses NVIDIA Nemotron on NVIDIA's accelerated computing platform and is secured by the NVIDIA OpenShell runtime. The system is built on Synopsys's agentic AI platform and powered by Synopsys AgentEngineer technology. It also leverages NVIDIA's agentic AI infrastructure, including the NVIDIA Agent Toolkit and Nemotron 3 Ultra open model. Synopsys created an autonomous agentic CAE workflow for electronics thermal analysis. This workflow uses NVIDIA Agent Toolkit and CUDA-X libraries. It also integrates Ansys Icepak software, now part of Synopsys, and open-source PyAEDT libraries. This allows for autonomous simulation setup, pre- and post-processing in a fraction of the usual time. Synopsys continues its collaboration with NVIDIA, using CUDA-X libraries to accelerate solvers like cuLitho and cuDSS. This innovation could significantly speed up complex engineering tasks.
