NVIDIA will buy $2B of Synopsys stock and help speed EDA, simulation and digital-twin workflows using CUDA-X and agentic AI.
NVIDIA and Synopsys announced an expanded partnership focused on applying NVIDIA AI and accelerated computing to Synopsys engineering software. The companies said the work is aimed at helping R&D teams in semiconductors, aerospace, automotive, industrial and other sectors manage growing design complexity, development costs and time-to-market pressures by improving design, simulation and verification workflows. NVIDIA also invested $2 billion in Synopsys common stock at $414.79 per share.
Joint development to enable future of engineering on accelerated computing
The multiyear partnership builds on strong, existing technology collaborations between the companies and includes the following initiatives:
- Broadly accelerate Synopsys applications: Using NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries and AI physics technologies, Synopsys will further accelerate and optimize its broad portfolio of compute-intensive applications spanning chip design, physical verification, molecular simulations, electromagnetic analysis, optical simulation and more.
- Advance agentic AI engineering: Building on the existing AI collaboration to enable agentic AI workflows, the companies are integrating Synopsys AgentEngineer technology with the NVIDIA agentic AI technology stack — including NVIDIA NIM microservices, NVIDIA NeMo Agent Toolkit software and NVIDIA Nemotron…
