(Sharecast News) - Synopsys surged in pre-market trade on Monday after Nvidia bought $2bn worth of common stock at $414.70 per share, as part of a multi-year strategic partnership.
Using Nvidia CUDA-X libraries and AI-Physics technologies, Synopsys will further accelerate and optimise its portfolio of compute-intensive applications spanning chip design, physical verification, molecular simulations, electromagnetic analysis, optical simulation and more, the companies said in a statement.
They are integrating Synopsys AgentEngineer technology with the Nvidia Agentic AI technology stack - including Nvidia NIM microservices, Nvidia NeMo Agent Toolkit software and Nvidia Nemotron models - to enable autonomous design capabilities for EDA (electronic design automation) and simulation and analysis workflows.
They also said they will collaborate to enable the next generation of virtual design, testing and validation through the use of "highly accurate and sophisticated" digital twins for industries such as semiconductor, robotics, aerospace, automotive, energy, industrial, healthcare and beyond.
These solutions will utilise Nvidia Omniverse, Nvidia Cosmos and other technologies.
Nvidia founder and chief executive Jensen Huang said: "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."
At 1400 GMT, Synopsys shares were up 7.2% at $448.13 in pre-market trade.
