TECH - Nvidia Is Banking On Chatbots AI To Speed Up Chip Design Amid Growing Demand: Report | Benzinga
Companies such as Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Synopsys (NASDAQ:SNPS), and Cadence Design Systems (NASDAQ:CDNS), along with numerous researchers, have introduced AI tools to expedite chip design, a process that has become increasingly intricate. AI is proving to be a game-changer in this field, significantly reducing the time and complexity involved in creating advanced chips.
What Happened: The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that companies such as Nvidia have introduced AI tools designed to automate tasks like writing hardware code, verifying it, and facilitating large teams of designers by summarizing notes and status updates.
While AI-based tools have their limitations, they are proving to be invaluable for training new chip designers, writing hardware languages, and reporting bugs. However, the complete automation of the chip design process, from design to verification and implementation, remains a challenge.
AI systems, such as those powering ChatGPT, can potentially cut down the time required for hardware design from half a year to just a month. This development is especially significant given the growing demand for advanced chips.
