Cadence expands enterprise PC platform

08 May 2025

Cadence Design Systems has expanded its Millennium Enterprise Platform with the introduction of the M2000 supercomputer with integrated Nvidia Blackwell systems.

The supercomputer delivers AI-accelerated simulations at scale across different designs. The company unveiled the system at its annual CadenceLIVE Silicon Valley 2025.

The supercomputer integrates:

  • Cadence’s solvers
  • Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPUs
  • Nvidia Cuda-X libraries
  • Solver software

Source: Cadence Cadence said this reduces simulation run times and up to 80 times higher performance versus CPU-based systems for electronic design automation, system design and analysis and drug discovery applications.

The Millennium M2000 computer provides co-optimized hardware-software stack that allows performance up to 20 times lower power across multiple disciplines, accelerating AI infrastructure, advancing physical AI machine design and pushing the frontiers of drug design.

“The Millennium M2000 Supercomputer will drive the next leap in AI-accelerated engineering by leveraging our massively scalable solvers, dedicated NVIDIA Blackwell-accelerated computing and AI to help designers continue to push the limits of what is possible,” said Anirudh Devgan, president and CEO of Cadence. “Purpose-built for the most advanced AI models of today and tomorrow, the Millennium M2000 Supercomputer delivers unprecedented designer productivity to propel the next generation of AI infrastructure, physical AI systems and drug discovery.”

3D-IC design

Cadence said the Millennium M2000 supercomputer combines the capabilities needed to analyze and optimize 3D-IC and advanced packaging designs such as:

  • Power
  • Thermal
  • Stress/warpage
  • Electromagnetics

This allows engineers to deliver simulations in less than a day where it could previously taken hundreds of CPUs almost two weeks.
