JAKARTA - The Cadence Design Systems (CDNS.O), based in San Jose, California, announced on Thursday February 1, that the company has designed a new artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputer system, which can be used to simulate airflow around jets and other equipment in its competition with Ansys.

Casidence is known for its software that helps design computer chips, where the precision placement of tens of billions of small electric switches called transistors can determine the speed and competitiveness of chips. However, the company is now competing with its main competitor, Synopsys, to combine chip design software with apps used to design and test larger mechanical systems that are part of the chip.

Casidence produces physics simulation software that can test fluid dynamics and is competitive with Ansys. Synopsys recently announced a deal worth $35 billion to acquire Ansys after Ansys previously attracted acquisition interest from Cadence.

According to Frank Ham, the R&D Vice President for the computational fluid dynamics at Cadence, physics simulation software such as those produced by Cadence requires enormous computing power so that other aircraft designers and engineers rarely have enough time to test each aspect of their design and still meet business time limits.

The system introduced by Cance on Thursday, known as the Millennium M1, will help speed up testing so engineers can run more testing. The system will also use artificial intelligence to filter out the enormous data generated by the test and recommend improvements that engineers may miss in a hurry.

"No human has read all the results of the simulation, and some of the design innovations buried inside will be found," said Frank Ham.

Cadence declined to comment on the cost of this system. The system will be sold and leased depending on customer preferences and is available soon.
