Nvidia Blackwell accelerates computer-aided engineering software by 50X
1 min read
Summary
Nvidia has unveiled its Nvidia Blackwell range of hardware, which it claims will speed up computer-aided software engineering (CAEE) software for digital twins by 50 times.
-Leading suppliers of such software, including Ansys, Altair, Cadence, Siemens and Synopsys, will be able to offer their customers greatly improved digital twin interactivity, potentially revolutionising product development in the automotive, aerospace, energy, manufacturing and life sciences sectors.
Boasting CUDA-accelerated physical simulation, Nvidia Blackwell will enable the creation and development of digital twins “before they are realised physically”, according to Nvidia’s founder and CEO, Jensen Huang.
Cadence, for example, is using the new hardware to overcome the challenge of simulating entire planes during takeoff and landing — a task that previously required a CPU cluster with hundreds of thousands of cores and several days to complete, but can now be done in under 24 hours.
