Product intended to Improve energy efficiency with accurate and fast AI-driven digital twins.

Cadence Design Systems has introduced a comprehensive artificial intelligence-driven digital twin solution to facilitate sustainable data center design and modernization. The Cadence Reality Digital Twin Platform virtualizes the entire data center and uses AI, high-performance computing (HPC) and physics-based simulation to improve data center energy efficiency.

The platform is meant to benefit data center designers and operators navigating the complexities of modern data center systems, in addressing issues that arise from stranded capacity due to inefficient use of data center compute and cooling resources and in handling AI-driven workloads and their environmental impact. 

“As data centers face increasing pressure to prioritize sustainability and energy efficiency in the face of exponential AI growth, the Cadence Reality Digital Twin Platform will optimize every aspect of data center design and operations, improve energy efficiency and pave the way for a more efficient, resilient and environmentally friendly future,” says Tom Beckley, senior vice president and general manager, Custom IC & PCB Group, Cadence.

The Cadence Reality Digital Twin Platform uses AI for model generation and simulation to accurately predict the external physical forces that impact data center operation, such as airflow, wind speeds, building obstructions on air intake and complications from internal and external temperature changes. Key benefits of the Cadence Reality Digital Twin Platform include:

  • Advanced Modeling Capabilities: Simulates design scenarios and operational strategies to identify energy-efficient solutions unique to each data center.
  • Environmental Consideration: Integrates external environmental factors into the design process, enabling development of sustainable data center operations.
  • Customized Reporting: Delivers automated, detailed reports for requirements of each project, facilitating understanding of potential efficiency improvements.
  • Iooling Strategies: Evaluates multiple cooling systems and their impact on energy consumption, offering insights into effective cooling solutions.
  • Latest Cadence Solvers: Cadence Reality Digital Twin Platform is integrated with Cadence’s multiphysics solvers.

    Cadence’s design platform will accelerate the development of next-generation data centers and AI factories across every industry.
