Ansys Certifies Thermal and Multiphysics Solutions for Intel 18A Process

Ansys has certified its thermal and multiphysics solutions for Intel's 18A process technology, announced in a press release. This certification includes Ansys RedHawk-SC and Totem power integrity signoff platforms, as well as Ansys HFSS-IC Pro electromagnetic simulation software.

The collaboration between Ansys and Intel Corporation aims to deliver a comprehensive multiphysics signoff flow for Intel Foundry's Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) technology. This includes the RedHawk-SC Electrothermal signoff platform and SIwave package electromagnetics simulation software for signal integrity signoff.

Ansys has also joined the Intel Foundry Chiplet Alliance to support the development of a secure ecosystem for designing multi-die heterogeneous systems. The certification process for Ansys tools is ongoing for the Intel 18A high-performance process node, with customers able to request the latest Intel PDK for early design work.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
