Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Headquarters: San Jose, California, Nasdaq: CDNS) announced on April 15 (US time) a strategic collaboration with Google utilizing the large language model "Gemini".
Through this collaboration, Cadence establishes a leading position in the transition to agent-oriented design automation, delivering an agent-driven, scalable, and cloud-native platform for next-generation chip design and verification.
The Cadence® ChipStack™ AI Super Agent integrates advanced reasoning by AI agents with Cadence's EDA solutions, achieving up to a 10x productivity improvement across various processes such as digital design, testbench development, verification planning, regression management, and automated debugging.
With AI agents capable of natively executing EDA tools, design teams can significantly shorten development cycles, improve operational efficiency, and accelerate the time to tape-out.
■ Cadence Comment
Paul Cunningham (senior vice president and general manager)
"This collaboration with Google Cloud is a major step forward in scaling AI-driven design automation. By integrating the Cadence ChipStack AI Super Agent with Gemini, we fuse the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) with Cadence's world-class EDA engines to drive next-generation agent-oriented design. This delivers exponential productivity gains and high-quality design outcomes for our customers."
At the core of the ChipStack AI Super Agent is the innovative "mental model" technology. This technology enables advanced agent-based reasoning through Cadence's existing technologies and improves the quality and accuracy of content generated by large language models (LLMs) by driving EDA tools.
Through the collaboration with Google Cloud, Cadence further strengthens the integration between the Gemini-enabled ChipStack AI Super Agent and its EDA engines, achieving significant improvements in both productivity and the quality of design outcomes.
This partnership leverages Google Cloud's secure and flexibly scalable computing infrastructure to provide the computational resources necessary for Gemini's large language model (LLM) reasoning, Cadence's EDA tools, and the ChipStack AI Super Agent. This enables a "click-to-deploy" end-to-end solution that realizes agent-driven chip design and verification.
The ChipStack AI Super Agent is currently available on the Google Cloud Marketplace.
