"Beyond speeding chip development, Nvidia and Siemens are aiming to create digital facsimiles, from chips to entire racks, to test their function before they're built. "What we are hoping for, and the reason why we're partnering so closely together, is so that we could build that Vera Rubin in the future as a digital twin," Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said today at the Siemens keynote."
"Nvidia announced today at CES 2026 that it would help Siemens' electronic design automation (EDA) software run on its GPUs in an attempt to speed up the chip-design process. Nearly all computer chips today are designed using EDA tools, and as chip features get smaller and transistors more numerous, the process has grown more computationally intensive."
Nvidia will help Siemens run electronic design automation (EDA) software on Nvidia GPUs to accelerate the chip-design process, announced at CES 2026. EDA tools design nearly all modern chips, and shrinking features plus rising transistor counts have made those workloads increasingly computationally intensive. Nvidia and Siemens plan to build digital facsimiles spanning individual chips to entire racks so functional testing can occur before physical fabrication. The collaboration targets GPU-accelerated simulation and modeling to reduce design time and catch errors earlier. The partners envision creating a large-scale digital twin, referenced as Vera Rubin, to simulate systems at production scale.
