Siemens has expanded its cloud services options for systems-of-systems technology, making PAVE360 for software defined vehicle (SDV) development available on Microsoft Azure through AMD GPUs (graphics processing units).
A growing demand in SDV development encouraged the collaboration, with Microsoft and AMD selected due to their high performance during complex tasks.
PAVE360’s development and validation environment requires powerful graphics acceleration for accurate scenario simulation, and accelerated execution of artificial intelligence perception, recognition, inference models and infotainment visualisation.
The availability of PAVE360 through Azure, Microsoft’s cloud and AI platform, in collaboration with AMD, means that Siemens customers enjoy increased flexibility through the cloud.
Azure offers the necessary cloud development features for scaleable SDV development while also identifying complex fault mechanisms.
This reduces the need for expensive prototyping or the risk of identifying faults once manufacturing has already begun.
A system-aware approach to SDV validation ensures that software, hardware and system defects are discovered early in the modelling and simulation phase to avoid recalls or brand damage. Once defects are found, thousands of virtual scenarios can be run in order to isolate problems.
“Our collaboration with Siemens and Microsoft allows automotive developers to leverage our leading AMD Radeon PRO GPUs and EPYC processors to power next generation ADAS and autonomous vehicle technologies,” said Salil Raje, senior vice president and general manager of adaptive and embedded computing at AMD.
“We are excited to support Siemens’ PAVE360 on AMD systems to enable developers with advanced automotive digital twin environments and help accelerate SDV.”
The solution is now available through AMD Radeon PRO V710 and AMD EPYC CPUs running on Microsoft Azure.
