Siemens and NVIDIA speed up AI chip lithography by 12x
What happened
Siemens has announced an expanded collaboration with NVIDIA to accelerate computational lithography for next-generation AI chips, delivering up to 12x faster full-chip optical proximity correction (OPC) workloads. The two companies are integrating NVIDIA's cuLitho GPU acceleration library with Siemens' Calibre manufacturing software to tackle one of the biggest bottlenecks in advanced semiconductor manufacturing. The source does not state the cause beyond the technical bottleneck. This is an announcement of an expanded collaboration; its implementation status is as described in the source.
