Leveraging the advanced capabilities of the Cadence<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>&nbsp;Palladium<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>&nbsp;Z3 Enterprise Emulation Platform, utilizing the new Cadence Dynamic Power Analysis (DPA) App, Cadence and NVIDIA have achieved what was previously considered impossible: hardware accelerated dynamic power analysis of billion-gate AI designs, spanning billions of cycles within a few hours with up to 97 percent accuracy. This milestone enables semiconductor and systems developers targeting AI, machine learning (ML) and GPU-accelerated applications to design more energy-efficient systems and accelerate their time to market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The massive complexity and computational requirements of today\u2019s most advanced semiconductors and systems present a challenge for designers, who have until now been unable to accurately predict their power consumption under realistic conditions. Conventional power analysis tools cannot scale beyond a few hundred thousand cycles without requiring impractical timelines. In close collaboration with NVIDIA, Cadence has overcome these challenges through hardware-assisted power acceleration and parallel processing innovations, enabling previously unattainable precision across billions of cycles in early-stage designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCadence and NVIDIA are building on our long history of introducing transformative technologies developed through deep collaboration,\u201d said Dhiraj Goswami, corporate vice president and general manager at Cadence. \u201cThis project redefined boundaries, processing billions of cycles in as few as two to three hours. This empowers customers to confidently meet aggressive performance and power targets and accelerate their time to silicon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As the era of agentic AI and next-generation AI infrastructure rapidly evolves, engineers need sophisticated tools to design more energy-efficient solutions,&#8221; said Narendra Konda, vice president, Hardware Engineering at NVIDIA. \u201cBy combining NVIDIA\u2019s accelerated computing expertise with Cadence\u2019s EDA leadership, we\u2019re advancing hardware-accelerated power profiling to enable more precise efficiency in accelerated computing platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Palladium Z3 Platform uses the DPA App to accurately estimate power consumption under real-world workloads, allowing functionality, power usage and performance to be verified before tapeout, when the design can still be optimized. Especially useful in AI, ML and GPU-accelerated applications, early power modeling increases energy efficiency while avoiding delays from over- or under-designed semiconductors. Palladium DPA is integrated into the Cadence analysis and implementation solution to allow designers to address power estimation, reduction and signoff throughout the entire design process, resulting in the most efficient silicon and system designs possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Cadence Palladium Dynamic Power Analysis App enables designers of AI\/ML chips and systems to create more energy-efficient designs and accelerate time to market National, 22nd&nbsp;August 2025:&nbsp;Cadence today announced a significant leap forward in the power analysis of pre-silicon designs through its close&nbsp;collaboration with NVIDIA.
