Silvaco-NVIDIA digital twin collaboration

Silvaco Group, Inc. and NVIDIA announced a collaboration to advance next-generation digital twins for semiconductor design and manufacturing using NVIDIA accelerated computing and AI. Silvaco will integrate NVIDIA's accelerated computing, CUDA-X libraries, PhysicsNeMo, Omniverse libraries, and Nemotron open models with its physics-based simulation portfolio. The partnership focuses on GPU-accelerated physics simulation, AI-driven surrogate modeling, digital twin visualization and collaboration, and scaled engineering workflows. As an early proof point, Silvaco completed a 3D FDTD simulation of a photonic edge coupler with 3.2 billion mesh nodes on 32 NVIDIA GPUs in under four hours. The collaboration aims to reduce simulation cycles from weeks to days, improve accuracy, and enable cloud-based collaboration.
