Cadence and Nokia advance AI-driven electronic system design

The on-premises platform accelerates key design and analysis workflows by 5X while keeping sensitive engineering data and IP secure.

Cadence announced that Nokia is deploying the Cadence AuraStack AI Super Agent on the Cadence Millennium M2000 AI Supercomputer to advance electronic system design at scale. By unifying agentic AI, Cadence engineering software and accelerated computing in a secure, on-premises platform, Nokia is accelerating key design and analysis workflows by 5X while maintaining control of sensitive engineering data and intellectual property.

The deployment establishes a new model for AI-driven engineering at leading systems companies. Nokia can use the AuraStack AI Super Agent to automate engineering tasks, explore complex system tradeoffs and close multiphysics analysis loops across heterogeneous electronic systems. The modular Millennium architecture enables Nokia to expand capacity as requirements grow and run multiple agentic engineering workloads in parallel.

The Cadence platform integrates three layers of AI-driven engineering:

  • Agentic AI: The Cadence AuraStack AI Super Agent, built with NVIDIA Nemotronopen models, automates and coordinates electronic system design tasks, including schematic capture, placement, routing and multi-objective optimization.
  • Computational software: Cadence EDA and SDA technologies use GPU-optimized NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries, including cuDSS, and NVIDIA Omniverse to accelerate power integrity, thermal analysis, electromagnetic characterization, and circuit simulation workflows.
  • Accelerated computing: Cadence Millennium M2000 systems provide a shared, scalable foundation for the AuraStack AI Super Agent and Cadence engineering applications, powered by NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs.

Together, these technologies help Nokia compress design and analysis cycles from months to days and accelerate targeted workflows by 5X, increasing engineering throughput and enabling teams to evaluate more design options. The self-contained deployment keeps sensitive data and IP within Nokia’s environment, while the modular architecture provides a path to scale capacity with demand.

Availability

The Cadence AuraStack AI Super Agent is available on the Cadence Millennium M2000 platform, powered by NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs. GPU-accelerated Cadence applications available on the Millennium M2000 Supercomputer include Celsius Thermal Solver, Clarity 3D Solver, Quantus FS and EMX high-accuracy parasitic extractors, Spectre X circuit simulator and Voltus IC Power Integrity Solution.
