Carbon nanotubes are now a step closer to practical applications, thanks to an MIT research that was announced a couple of weeks ago. But first, a few industry news from the last few days. Let’s start with Ansys, that on September 11th unveiled an agreement to acquire Livermore Software Technology Corporation. The acquired company – LSTC for short – is the creator of LS-Dyna, a multiphysics solver widely adopted by the automotive industry to accurately predict a vehicle’s behavior and the effects on occupants during a collision.
Verification in the cloud
Synopsys has announced a collaboration with Google Cloud to provide a full end-to-end solution to perform functional verification workloads – with Synopsys VCS – in the cloud. Flexible hardware scalability offered in the cloud helps design teams to address peak/burst simulation capacity requirements, enabling a higher quality verification on a predictable schedule. The solution leverages the native Google Cloud-NetApp integration to bridge the on-premises and cloud infrastructures, together with tight integration between VCS and the Preemptible VM feature in Google Cloud.
