Designing mechanical systems for new levels of performance and
efficiency has become a key priority in the automotive, aerospace
and defense (A&D), energy and turbomachinery industries. To
optimize performance and reduce greenhouse gases, automotive
designers are focused on improving fuel efficiency, reducing drag
and noise, and extending electric vehicle range. Increasing
efficiency, reducing carbon emissions and reducing maintenance
frequency are top of mind for A&D and turbomachinery design
engineers. Advances in multiphysics simulation technology are
critical to achieving these goals. Performance, accuracy, capacity
and accelerated computing are all essential to enabling digital
twin simulations that explore more design innovations, providing
confidence that they will function as intended before undertaking
prototype development and testing.
The Millennium Platform addresses these needs. Highlights and
benefits include:
- Performance: Combines best-in-class GPU-resident CFD
solvers with dedicated GPU hardware to provide
supercomputer-equivalent throughput per GPU of up to 1000 CPU
cores
- Efficiency: Reduces turnaround time from weeks to hours
with 20X better energy efficiency compared to its CPU
equivalent
- Accuracy: Leverages Cadence Fidelity™ CFD solvers to
provide unmatched accuracy to address complex simulation
challenges
- High-Performance Computing: Built with an extensible
architecture and massively scalable Fidelity solvers to provide
near-linear scalability on multiple GPU nodes
- AI Digital Twin: Rapid generation of high-quality
multiphysics data enables generative AI to create fast and reliable
digital twin visualizations of the optimal system design
solution
- Turnkey Solution: The industry’s first solution that
couples GPU compute with modern and scalable CFD solvers, providing
an optimized environment for accelerated CFD and multidisciplinary
design and optimization
- Flexibility: Available with GPUs from leading vendors,
in the cloud with minimum 8 GPU configurations, or on premises with
a minimum 32 GPU configuration—providing a flexible and scalable
solution to fit each customer’s deployment needs
“Throughout our 35-year history, Cadence has been focused on
increasing performance with no loss of accuracy for the most
challenging computational applications. Algorithmic throughput

“Honda and Cadence have worked together for more than 10 years
to accelerate CFD design processes. Our deployment of Cadence’s
Millennium M1 multiphysics supercomputing platform, with its LES
solver, has demonstrated significantly faster turnaround time and
the scalability to simulate much larger systems for aerodynamics,
combustion and aeroacoustics applications for our automotive,
aeropropulsion and eVTOL projects. With the potential for
significant acceleration of high-fidelity CFD simulations, we look
forward to continuing our collaboration to develop next-generation
CFD solutions.”
