ANSYS, TSMC & Microsoft Team Up to Advance Silicon PIC Simulation
ANSYS Inc ANSS, TSMC and Microsoft MSFT have successfully tested a solution that enhances the simulation and analysis process of silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs). The joined forces have yielded a 10X speed-up in Ansys’ Lumerical FDTD photonic simulations using Microsoft Azure’s NC A100v4-series virtual machines powered by NVIDIA accelerated computing technology operating on Azure AI infrastructure.
