Clarity 3D Solver Cloud integrates on-premises
simulation setup with cloud computation and acceleration at no
additional cost
Highlights:
- Simple yet powerful push-button interface initiates simulation
in the cloud while ensuring data is secure
- Unbounded 3D simulation scalability extends computational
resources, enabling rapid optimization of EM results to reduce
turnaround time
- Immediate access to cloud eliminates the wait for on-premises
server farm resources to become available
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced a
straightforward, secure and cost-effective approach to gaining
access to compute resources in the cloud when executing 3D
electromagnetic (EM) simulations with Cadence® Clarity™ 3D Solver
Cloud. Clarity 3D Solver Cloud provides the ability to scale 3D
finite element method (FEM) simulation capacity from 32 cores to
thousands of cores using secure connections to Amazon Web Services
(AWS).
This inventive hybrid approach gives users the option to
simulate using local compute resources or cloud simulation
resources without having to add to either on-premises or cloud
computing budgets. Cloud simulations keep design data safe on local
computers while sending only encrypted simulation-specific data to
the cloud. Clarity 3D Solver Cloud automatically sets up and
simulates in a private and secure AWS chamber, accessing the
user-defined number of compute cores. Simulation results are
returned to the local on-premises computer(s) while the data in the
secure AWS chamber is immediately deleted. This ensures 3D EM data
is safe, protected and only discoverable on the customer’s local
device.
“Cadence’s approach to accelerating Clarity 3D Solver
simulations on AWS allows customers to leverage high-performance
cloud resources and achieve faster turnaround time,” said David
Pellerin, Head of Worldwide Industry Business Development,
Semiconductors, AWS. “We are delighted to be working with Cadence
on Clarity Cloud and on future innovations that support our shared
customers in their transition to cloud.”
As “More than Moore” drives electronic systems that are higher
in frequency and speed, the demand on 3D EM simulation also grows.
Due to increasing design complexity, complicated by faster and
faster data transfer speeds and frequency specs such as DDR5, 112G
and 5G NR, Clarity 3D Solver Cloud closes the simulation versus
time/compute-resources gap.
With Clarity 3D Solver Cloud, EM simulations on entire complex
systems are now possible. Instead of purchasing additional
on-premises compute resources to run more and more EM simulations,
Cadence’s innovative business model provides customers with
24-hour-per-day access to the cloud. Powered by the
production-proven Cadence CloudBurst™ Platform, Clarity 3D Solver
Cloud allows the number of compute cores to be controlled by the
design engineer. When additional compute nodes are needed beyond
what is available locally, flexible terms are available for adding
capacity to accelerate simulation time during peak usage or to
decrease time-to-simulation results when simulating larger, more
complex structures. The goal is to empower customers to decrease EM
simulation times while expanding EM design analysis.
“We continue to innovate with our system-level analysis
solutions to provide unprecedented speed and accuracy,” said Ben
Gu, vice president of multiphysics system analysis in the Custom IC
& PCB Group at Cadence. “Clarity 3D Solver Cloud delivers a
flexible, scalable solution for our customers so they can solve
large, complex and leading-edge EM designs on demand, without
waiting for compute resources to become available. The hybrid cloud
approach keeps design data secure on-premises, provides a
straightforward and familiar user experience for our Clarity 3D
Solver customers, and most importantly, accelerates EM results
using state-of-the-art AWS compute resources to generate 3D FEM
electromagnetic analysis results.”

“Simulation to ensure first-time right designs is a prerequisite
for success in a high-speed interconnect system, and the ability to
rapidly deliver these advanced technology services enhances
Sanmina’s solution offerings to our leading-edge customers. The
Clarity 3D Solver provides unsurpassed speed and capacity, and now,
with the new cloud solution, we can quickly respond to demanding
simulation needs without front-end loaded capital expenses and
delays from procurement of compute resources. In addition, the
convenience of running large simulations from our notebook
computers allows us to optimize IT budgets without impacting
engineering productivity.” Drew Doblar, VP of Engineering, at
Sanmina Corporation
“Inventec serves our customers with excellence because of our
innovation, quality, open mind and execution. Fast and accurate
simulation of our designs used in cloud computing, wireless
communication, intelligent devices and IoT ensures we can deliver
working prototypes in the shortest possible time. Cadence has long
been our trusted partner to provide simulation solutions that
tightly integrate with our design tools to help us rapidly find and
fix design problems. We utilize Clarity 3D Solver with on-premises
hardware, but with the new Clarity 3D Solver Cloud, we have access
to unlimited compute resources with zero wait time, allowing us to
more quickly optimize our designs. This reduces our turnaround time
and enables us to produce more robust products with fewer design
iterations.” Steven Ting, Director at Inventec
“At Enflame Technology, our AI chips need to be delivered in
reliable hardware to serve our downstream partners. We cannot
afford multiple design respins, so we trust Cadence to provide us
with integrated design and analysis solutions to enable us to
streamline system-level design. The Clarity 3D Solver has provided
unparalleled speed and capacity with proven accuracy. We utilize
Clarity 3D Solver Cloud to break the bottleneck during peak demand
simulation times as it gives us access to unlimited compute
resources, allowing us to take full advantage of the scalability of
Clarity technology to enable true 3D simulation results. This makes
our design cycles predictable and increases company-wide
productivity.” Arthur Zhang, Founder and COO of Enflame
Technology
