Cadence Design Systems has expanded its collaboration with Nvidia to launch a portfolio of agentic AI and physical AI-accelerated solutions for chip and system design. The tools automate complex workflows, generate designs and debug errors through autonomous agents, integrating Cadence's design solutions with Nvidia's computing stack. The offerings are optimised for Nvidia Grace CPUs and Blackwell GPUs, with deployment available on Cadence's Millennium M2000 Supercomputer. The system delivers up to 80 times greater throughput and 20 times lower power consumption compared to traditional CPU-based systems. Key software releases are planned for 2026, including the Innovus Implementation System and Allegro X Design Platform. Honda and Micron are already using the accelerated solutions for turbofan engine simulations and memory design verification respectively.

Training webinar series: boost Design Productivity with Cadence Digital tools. As semiconductor designs scale in size and architectural complexity, digital implementation teams are increasingly constrained by tight schedules, aggressive PPA targets, and limited iteration budgets. Achieving predictable convergence in this environment requires early, data-driven insight and strong correlation across the RTL-to-GDS flow - capabilities that traditional, stage-isolated digital methodologies struggle to deliver. To address these challenges, Cadence brings you an expert-led webinar series, Accelerate Design Productivity: Next-Gen Cadence Digital Implementation Tools. This webinar series helps designers explore Cadence's latest Digital Design and Signoff tools, discover powerful debugging workflows, smart scripting techniques, rapid editing capabilities, and advanced analysis features to help you work faster and elevate your design's PPA. This series focuses on improving RTL productivity, timing predictability, and DFT automation, enabling teams to reduce turnaround time and confidently converge on high-quality designs. Why this webinar series matters! In today's advanced nodes, late-stage surprises in timing, QoR, or testability can result in costly redesigns and schedule slips. The key to avoiding these risks lies in shifting insight earlier in the design cycle and maintaining strong correlation as the design matures. This webinar series demonstrates how next-generation Cadence digital implementation tools and methodologies help engineers: * Shorten feedback loops at RTL * Improve timing prediction from RTL through signoff * Automate complex DFT tasks within synthesis * Achieve faster convergence with better PPA outcomes Each session delivers practical, designer-focused guidance grounded in real design scenarios. Webinar 1: design faster, debug smarter - transform RTL productivity with Cadence RTL Design Studio. 7 april 2026, 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM IST. As RTL codebases grow larger and more complex, designers need faster, more insightful feedback to keep development cycles on track. This session explores how Cadence RTL Design Studio enables a highly streamlined, data-driven RTL feedback flow that dramatically improves productivity. The webinar begins with an overview of existing RTL Design Studio capabilities, including: * A unified cockpit for RTL analysis * Rapid prototyping for early validation * Rich analysis features to quickly identify issues and root causes The session also introduces cutting-edge enhancements that deliver faster analysis turnaround, improved visualization, and more intelligent diagnostics - helping designers accelerate RTL closure and improve design quality with greater confidence. Webinar 2: faster turnaround, better QoR - timing correlation recipes across RTL to GDS. 14 april 2026, 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM IST. Accurate early timing prediction and correlation across the RTL-to-GDS flow are critical to preventing negative impacts on PPA, turnaround time, and overall project schedules. This webinar dives into the key factors that influence timing prediction and correlation across design stages. Attendees will learn proven methodologies that span: * Early RTL design phases * Cadence Innovus Implementation System post-route analysis * Cadence Tempus Timing Solution signoff closure The session provides practical, step-by-step guidance for identifying and resolving timing correlation challenges, enabling faster and more robust timing closure across the digital flow. Webinar 3: inserting gate-level DFT in Genus after DFT instrumentation at RTL. 21 april 2026, 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM IST. With more designs integrating DFT structures directly at RTL, there is a growing need to automate DFT tasks - such as scan stitching - within synthesis. This webinar focuses on Genus Synthesis Solution features that enable efficient DFT insertion when most DFT logic already exists at RTL. The session highlights a physically aware synthesis methodology that improves optimization and PPA, covering topics such as: * Test point insertion * IEEE 1500 wrapper insertion * ICG cloning and rewiring * Scan segment definition and bypass * Scan structure building, partitioning, and scan group creation Attendees will gain practical insights into achieving scalable, high-quality DFT implementation with minimal manual effort. Who should attend? This webinar series is ideal for: * RTL design engineers * Synthesis and implementation engineers * DFT engineers * Technical leads looking to improve digital design productivity Whether you are focused on shortening feedback loops, improving correlation, or automating complex flows, these sessions provide actionable strategies you can apply immediately. Conclusion. The Accelerate Design Productivity: Next-Gen Cadence Digital Implementation Tools webinar series delivers practical methodologies and tool insights to help design teams keep pace with growing complexity. By bringing smarter analysis, stronger correlation, and automation earlier into the flow, engineers can reduce risk, improve QoR, and meet aggressive tapeout schedules with confidence.

Cadence Design Systems reported Q4 revenues of $1.44 billion, up 6.2% year-on-year, exceeding analyst expectations by 1%. The company, which provides computational software and hardware for designing electronic systems and semiconductors, beat EBITDA estimates and its EPS guidance for next quarter topped expectations. CEO Anirudh Devgan highlighted "over 14% revenue growth and 20% non-GAAP EPS growth" for full-year 2025. However, amongst seven design software stocks tracked, Cadence delivered the weakest performance against analyst estimates and the weakest full-year guidance update. The sector overall saw revenues beat consensus estimates by 3.2% in Q4, though share prices averaged a 6.8% decline since earnings. Autodesk led the group with $1.96 billion in revenues, up 19.4% year-on-year. Cadence shares are down 1.3% since reporting.
