Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today debuted the
Cadence® Allegro® X Design Platform, the industry’s first
engineering platform for system design that unifies schematic,
layout, analysis, design collaboration and data management. Built
upon proven Allegro and OrCAD® core technology, the new Allegro X
platform revolutionizes and streamlines the system design process
for engineers—offering unparalleled collaboration across all
engineering disciplines, integration with best-in-class Cadence
signoff-level simulation and analysis products, and greater layout
performance.

Engineers today increasingly must design and collaborate across
multiple domains, including electromagnetic (EM), thermal, signal
and power integrity (SI/PI), and logical/physical implementation.
The Allegro X platform’s simplified user interaction model delivers
quick technology access and immediate value for novice and expert
users. By minimizing iterations and providing access to both the
logical and physical domains simultaneously with concurrent
collaboration capabilities across schematic, layout and analysis
activities, the Allegro X platform reduces the time and effort to
complete the design of complex systems by up to 4X compared to
legacy design tools.
The Allegro X platform leverages a hybrid cloud solution that
provides scalable compute resources and full technology access
while reducing deployment footprints and complexity. With the
Allegro X platform, engineers can now deliver high-quality designs
with access to the Cadence Clarity™ 3D Solver, Celsius™ Thermal
Solver, Sigrity™ technology and PSpice® for simulation and
analysis, Allegro Pulse for design data management, and
interoperability with the AWR® Microwave Office® RF design
flow.
The Allegro X platform delivers significant improvement in
design throughput and performance. By leveraging GPU technology in
combination with core architectural optimization, Allegro X
performance is accelerated across a wide range of operations. In
addition, the Allegro X platform utilizes cloud resources to
synthesize full or partial PCB designs. Innovative machine learning
(ML) techniques concurrently optimize the design for manufacturing,
SI and PI requirements while designing the power delivery network
(PDN), device placement and signal interconnect as specified by the
system architect/electrical engineer.
“The Allegro X platform establishes a unified engineering
platform, boosting overall design team productivity up to 4X.
Engineers now have a framework for logical and physical design, in
2D or 3D, single- or multi-board, that allows them to optimize
resources even on the most complex 5G designs, enabled by
interoperability with the AWR Microwave Office RF design flow,”
said Tom Beckley, senior vice president and general manager of the
Custom IC & PCB Group at Cadence. “Cadence R&D has been
working diligently with academia and industry partners on
groundbreaking, analysis-driven PCB synthesis that significantly
enhances design productivity.”
“Harnessing the power of accelerated computing by using NVIDIA
GPUs enables Cadence’s Allegro X platform to boost performance up
to 20X for interactive operations,” said Greg Bodi, director of PCB
layout engineering at NVIDIA. “This performance improvement
delivers our engineers immediate canvas responsiveness and
acceleration when 2D rendering complex boards during the design
phase.”
“Multi-objective optimization is a challenging problem and I am
pleased that MIT students and alumni have made significant progress
working inside Cadence on novel ML solutions towards the synthesis
of difficult PCB designs. The resulting system will not only
benefit MIT, but will also significantly improve productivity in
the PCB community at large,” said Dr. Tomas Palacios, professor of
electrical engineering and computer science at MIT.
The Allegro X platform supports Cadence’s Intelligent System
Design™ strategy, which enables customers to accelerate system
innovation. Customers can learn more at
