Offerings

You can achieve an optimal balance of performance and low power, energy, and cost in your hyperscale computing design with Cadence® solutions. Optimize hardware and software, system-level thermal, fluidity, and thermal effects. Go beyond Moore’s Law with 3D-IC integration to implement the most intricate designs with shorter turnaround times.

Data Center

Chip and system design for data centers push the limits of today’s capabilities in the areas of chip-design, hardware/software co-development, board development, and system analysis. Optimization for individual computing workloads requires flexibility to include domain-specific accelerators and to create multiple derivatives and design options with as little lead time as possible. Also, design complexities today extend beyond the current reticle limits for yield-efficient manufacturing. The assembly of chiplets has emerged as the solution.

Edge Computing/Devices/Sensors

Some of the key system architecture decisions in the era of hyperscale computing revolve around computing and storage. Depending on latency requirements dictated by the applications under development, compute may happen at the sensors, on mobile devices, in near- or far-edge nodes, or in local and cloud data centers. Low-power, energy, and thermal requirements may require compute to be offloaded from mobile devices. These decisions are highly application-dependent and require a keen understanding of the data journey—from sensing to actionable AI/ML-driven decisions/insights that impact our day-to-day lives.

Explore how Cadence’s emulation, verification, and FPGA-based prototyping offerings allow early software development for mobile and edge devices, providing the performance assessments required for specific compute workloads. Learn how edge-optimized, extendible processor and design IP accelerates product development and lets design teams achieve the most energy-optimized hardware/software implementations. See how the integrated Cadence design flows across verification, digital and custom implementation, and system analysis enable low-power-, energy-, and thermal-optimized domain-specific products.
