Nvidia announced today at CES 2026 that it will help run Siemens’ electronic design automation (EDA) software on its GPUs in an effort to speed up the chip-design process. Nearly all computer chips today are designed using EDA tools, and as chip features become smaller and transistors become more numerous, the process has become more computationally intensive.
In addition to accelerating chip development, Nvidia and Siemens are aiming to create digital replicas, from chips to entire racks, to test their function before manufacturing. “What we’re hoping for, and that’s why we’re partnering so closely together, is so that we can create Vera Rubin as the digital twin of the future,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in a Siemens keynote today.
