Applying AI/ML Technology for Rapid Design Optimization

The problem of optimization is a long-standing one in the field of design. For years, the most conventional approach was the brute-force method of running parametric sweeps on the design space. However, as systems become more complex and the number of parameters increases, the computational resource and time cost becomes unsustainable. With the Cadence Optimality Explorer, users can explore the same design space more efficiently and intelligently. By leveraging artificial intelligence/machine learning technology, Optimality Explorer removes the need for exhaustive sweeps and dramatically reduces the number of iterations required to converge to the optimized solution.
