Nvidia hooks TSMC, ASML, Synopsys on GPU accelerated lithography

Nvidia's latest gambit? Entrenching itself as a key part of the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain. At GTC this week, the chipmaker unveiled cuLitho, a software library designed to accelerate computational lithography workloads used by the likes of TSMC, ASML, and Synopsys, using its GPUs. The idea behind the platform …

Great idea. Imagine finding a bug in a design that contains billions of transistors and when the tests pass, because AI wrote them too.

You're fine because the AI running the matrix wouldn't tell you

My guess is ..

...the money isn't in selling the GPU's but the software. Therefore the more GPU's you cover, the easier it is the sell (the very expensive) software and support.

cuLitho, seriously? LOL

I guess nobody is going to talk about how cuLitho just sounds like "culito" in Spanish, ROFL, look it up.

I have already seen some amusing memes. Spanish is my mother tongue, and everytime I read something about this is funny, difficult to take it serious.

Corpos thinking that the whole world speaks only English, nothing new.
