Nvidia and Synopsys have announced a new multiyear collaboration around design and engineering spanning Nvidia CUDA accelerated computing, agentic and physical AI, and Omniverse digital twins.
The announcement states that the expanded partnership will integrate the strengths of Nvidia’s AI and accelerated computing with Synopsys’ engineering solutions – including Ansys – to deliver capabilities “enabling R&D teams to design, simulate and verify intelligent products with greater precision, speed and at lower cost”.
In addition, Nvidia has invested $2 billion in Synopsys common stock at a purchase price of $414.79 per share.
Announced projects include accelerating Synopsys applications using Nvidia CUDA-X libraries and AI physics technologies; building on the existing AI collaboration to enable agentic AI workflows by integrating Synopsys AgentEngineer technology with the Nvidia agentic AI technology stack to enable autonomous design capabilities for electronic design automation (EDA) and simulation and analysis workflows.
Digital Twins are also high on the agenda, with the companies targeting the next generation of virtual design, testing and validation using Nvidia Omniverse, Cosmos and other technologies..
Synopsys and Nvidia also plan to make accelerated engineering solutions accessible to engineering teams of all sizes by enabling cloud access for GPU-accelerated engineering solutions.
“The complexity and cost of developing next-generation intelligent systems demands engineering solutions with a deeper integration of electronics and physics, accelerated by AI capabilities and compute. No two companies are better positioned to deliver AI-powered, holistic system design solutions than Synopsys and Nvidia,” said Synopsys CEO Sassine Ghazi.
“Together we will re-engineer engineering and empower innovators everywhere to more efficiently realise their innovations.”
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, added: “CUDA GPU-accelerated computing is revolutionising design — enabling simulation at unprecedented speed and scale, from atoms to transistors, from chips to complete systems, creating fully functional digital twins inside the computer.
“Our partnership with Synopsys harnesses the power of Nvidia accelerated computing and AI to reimagine engineering and design — empowering engineers to invent the extraordinary products that will shape our future.”
