Cadence Design Systems announced Thursday that it has designed a new artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputer system that can be used to simulate how air flows on jets and other equipment.
Cadence is best known for software that helps design computer chips, where the precise placement of tens of billions of tiny electrical switches called transistors can boost or decrease a chip’s speed and competitiveness.
The US company competes with rival Synopsys to combine chip design software with applications used to design and test larger mechanical systems of which these processors are part.
Cadence develops physics simulation software that can test airflow and other fluid dynamics and competes with Ansys, which Synopsys last month agreed to buy in a subsequent $35 billion deal.
Physics simulation software like Cadence’s requires so much computing power that aircraft designers and other engineers rarely have enough time to test every aspect of their design and still meet commercial deadlines, said Frank Ham, vice president of research and development for computational fluid dynamics. in Cadenza.
The system Cadence unveiled this Thursday, called Millennium M1, will help speed up tests so engineers can do more of them. It will also use artificial intelligence to examine the huge amounts of data generated by these tests to recommend improvements that time-pressed engineers may have missed.
“There is no human being reading all the results of these simulations, and some of the design innovations that are buried there will be revealed,” Ham said.
Cadence declined to comment on the cost of the system. The system will be sold or rented, depending on customer preference, and is available now.
