Cadence Goes All-In on Digital Twins, Drug Discovery, Data Centres

Digital twin technology is soaring in its use cases at the moment. Cadence Design Systems, a long-standing heavyweight in computational software, is expanding its digital twin technology beyond semiconductors.  While Cadence has long been known for its work in EDA (electronic design automation), the company is now using its computational horsepower to simulate systems that range from drug molecules to urban traffic patterns. In an interview with AIM, Jayashankar Narayanankutty, the group director at Cadence, discussed the company’s expanding digital twin strategy and its implications across sectors. “At Cadence, we didn’t set out to do this—but over time, our ability to simulate billions of nodes simultaneously evolved into something far more powerful,” Narayanankut
