Chip maker NVIDIA announced an expanded strategic partnership with Synopsys, an engineering company that helps businesses build AI-powered products. The multi-year collaboration coincides with NVIDIA’s $2 billion investment in Synopsys common stock, and it will help NVIDIA expand its reach within the engineering sector.
The partnership enables Synopsys to accelerate its app portfolio by leveraging NVIDIA’s CUDA-X libraries and AI physics solutions. It will also facilitate autonomous design capabilities through the integration of Synopsys’ AgentEngineer platform with NVIDIA’s agentic AI stack. The companies will work to enhance virtual design, testing and validation for industries like semiconductor, robotics and automotive through digital twins created using NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Cosmos.
“CUDA GPU-accelerated computing is revolutionizing design — enabling simulation at unprecedented speed and scale, from atoms to transistors, from chips to complete systems, creating fully functional digital twins inside the computer,” Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said in a statement. “Our partnership with Synopsys harnesses the power of NVIDIA accelerated computing and AI to reimagine engineering and design — empowering engineers to invent the extraordinary products that will shape our future.”
This expanded partnership targets engineering teams of all sizes as the companies aim to make their GPU-accelerated engineering solutions available through the cloud. NVIDIA and Synopsys will develop joint go-to-market initiatives to drive market adoption and leverage Synopsys’ expansive network of direct sellers and channel partners.
