Cadence Debuts M2000 Supercomputer with Nvidia Blackwell

Cadence Design Systems has launched the Millennium M2000 Supercomputer, featuring both Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs and HGX B200 systems to accelerate AI-driven simulations for engineering, chip design, and drug discovery. The platform combines Cadence’s solvers with Nvidia hardware and CUDA-X software, achieving up to 80 times the performance and 20 times the power efficiency of traditional CPU-based systems. This enables tasks like jet turbulence analysis and molecule simulation for drug discovery to be completed in hours or minutes, significantly boosting research and development productivity. The launch aligns with a surge in Cadence’s market value and underscores the company's leadership in AI-driven design tools, bolstered by strategic partnerships with Nvidia and Intel. The M2000 is expected to drive the next generation of AI infrastructure and foster innovation in both technology and life sciences. Cadence and Nvidia executives emphasized the system’s ability to address complex engineering challenges at unprecedented speed and scale.
