Cadence launched a new digital twin platform Millennium Platform, which provides ultra-high performance and energy efficiency ratio

Cadence recently announced the introduction of Cadence Millennium Enterprise Multiphysics Platform for multi physical field system design and analysis, which is the first to provide hardware in the industry/ Software (HW/SW) Accelerated digital twin solution. The first generation Cadence Millennium M1 platform aims to improve performance and energy efficiency ratio, and accelerate high fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. This one-stop solution can run in the cloud or locally. It is equipped with graphics processing units (GPUs) from excellent providers, has extremely fast connectivity and enhanced Cadence high fidelity CFD software stack, and is optimized for GPU acceleration and generative AI. Millennium M1 instances can be integrated into a unified cluster to help customers achieve an ideal turnover speed, complete design turnover on the same day, and provide near linear expansion capability for simulation of complex systems.

In the automotive, aerospace, energy and turbomachinery industries, we need to ensure that the designed system performance and energy efficiency reach a new level, which has become a top priority. To optimize performance and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, automotive designers focus on improving fuel efficiency, reducing drag and noise, and extending the range of electric vehicles. Improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions and reducing maintenance frequency are the most concerned issues for aerospace and turbomachinery design engineers. To achieve these goals, the progress of multi physical field simulation technology is crucial. Digital twin simulation is helpful to explore more innovative design schemes, and performance, accuracy, capacity and accelerated computing technologies are crucial to the realization of digital twin simulation. Before prototype development and testing, effective simulation can give us full confidence to ensure that these designs will be implemented normally as expected.  

The Millennium Platform can meet these needs. The main functions and advantages of the platform include:

Performance: The ideal GPU resident CFD solver of the same kind is combined with dedicated GPU hardware, and the computing power of each GPU can be comparable to that of a supercomputer, equivalent to the computing performance of 1000 CPU cores at most. Efficiency: The calculation iteration time is reduced from weeks to hours, and the energy efficiency is 20 times higher than that of the CPU with equivalent performance. Accuracy: Leverage Cadence Fidelity ™ CFD solver, which can provide excellent accuracy and calmly deal with complex simulation challenges. High performance computing: Using scalable architecture and Fidelity solver supporting large-scale expansion, it provides nearly linear scalability on multiple GPU nodes. AI Digital twins: Quickly generate high-quality multi physical field data, and use generative AI to create a fast and reliable digital twin visualization effect for the ideal system design scheme. One stop solution: It is the first to combine GPU computing with modern scalable CFD solver, providing an ideal environment for accelerating CFD and multidisciplinary design and optimization. Flexibility: You can use the GPUs provided by excellent suppliers to configure at least 8 GPUs in the cloud, or at least 32 GPUs locally to provide flexible and scalable solutions to meet the deployment needs of each customer.

"We have gone through 35 years of development. During this period, Cadence has always been committed to helping challenging computing applications improve performance while ensuring accuracy. Algorithm computing efficiency is always a key priority, and we are using generative AI to extract useful information from massive design and simulation data. " Ben Gu, global vice president of Cadence and general manager of the multi physical field simulation business unit, said, "We have launched the subversive Millennium platform, which is a huge leap, providing excellent acceleration and performance expansion for digital twins and AI applications. CFD is expected to benefit greatly from the improvement of performance and efficiency. For industries that must explore more design innovations and bring products to the market faster, the powerful performance of Millennium M1 will bring about earth shaking changes. "
