Nvidia invest $2 billion in Synopsys
Nvidia and Synopsys announced Monday an expanded strategic partnership aimed at integrating accelerated computing and AI into engineering workflows across multiple industries.
The agreement includes a multiyear collaboration spanning GPU-accelerated simulation, agentic AI technologies and digital twin development, and is accompanied by a USD 2 billion equity investment from Nvidia in Synopsys.
According to the companies, the partnership is designed to address rising engineering challenges, development costs and time-to-market pressures in fields ranging from semiconductors to aerospace, automotive and industrial systems. Synopsys will incorporate Nvidia's CUDA-based accelerated computing, along with AI-Physics technologies, into its portfolio of compute-intensive applications, including chip design, physical verification, molecular and electromagnetic simulation and optical analysis.
NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang said GPU-accelerated computing is revolutionising design by enabling large-scale simulations and digital twins.
“Our partnership with Synopsys harnesses the power of Nvidia accelerated computing and AI to reimagine engineering and design,” Huang said in a press release.
Synopsys president and CEO Sassine Ghazi emphasised that the complexity and cost of developing next-generation intelligent systems demand engineering solutions with a deeper integration of electronics and physics, accelerated by AI capabilities and compute.
“No two companies are better positioned to deliver AI-powered, holistic system design solutions than Synopsys and Nvidia,” he said.
