Nvidia to accelerate Siemens chip-design tools using its GPUs

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.

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.
