Cadence Accelerates Development of Billion-Gate AI Designs with Innovative Power Analysis Technology Built on NVIDIA
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cadence (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced a significant leap forward in the power analysis of pre-silicon designs through its close collaboration with NVIDIA. Leveraging the advanced capabilities of the Cadence ® Palladium ® Z3 Enterprise Emulation Platform, utilizing the new Cadence Dynamic Power Analysis (DPA) App, Cadence and NVIDIA have achieved what was previously considered impossible: hardware accelerated dynamic power analysis of billion-gate AI designs, spanning billions of cycles within a few hours with up to 97 percent accuracy. This milestone enables semiconductor and systems developers targeting AI, machine learning (ML) and GPU-accelerated applications to design more energy-efficient systems and accelerate their time to market. This project redefined boundaries, processing billions of cycles in as few as two to three hours. This empowers customers to confidently meet aggressive performance and power targets and accelerate their time to silicon. Share The massive complexity and computational requirements of today's most advanced semiconductors and systems present a challenge for designers, who have until now been unable to accurately predict their power consumption under realistic conditions. Conventional power analysis tools cannot scale beyond a few hundred thousand cycles without requiring impractical timelines. In close collaboration with NVIDIA, Cadence has overcome these challenges through hardware-assisted power acceleration and parallel processing innovations, enabling previously unattainable precision across billions of cycles in early-stage designs. 'Cadence and NVIDIA are building on our long history of introducing transformative technologies developed through deep collaboration,' said Dhiraj Goswami, corporate vice president and general manager at Cadence. 'This project redefined boundaries, processing billions of cycles in as few as two to three hours. This empowers customers to confidently meet aggressive performance and power targets and accelerate their time to silicon.' "As the era of agentic AI and next-generation AI infrastructure rapidly evolves, engineers need sophisticated tools to design more energy-efficient solutions," said Narendra Konda, vice president, Hardware Engineering at NVIDIA. 'By combining NVIDIA's accelerated computing expertise with Cadence's EDA leadership, we're advancing hardware-accelerated power profiling to enable more precise efficiency in accelerated computing platforms.' The Palladium Z3 Platform uses the DPA App to accurately estimate power consumption under real-world workloads, allowing functionality, power usage and performance to be verified before tapeout, when the design can still be optimized. Especially useful in AI, ML and GPU-accelerated applications, early power modeling increases energy efficiency while avoiding delays from over- or under-designed semiconductors. Palladium DPA is integrated into the Cadence analysis and implementation solution to allow designers to address power estimation, reduction and signoff throughout the entire design process, resulting in the most efficient silicon and system designs possible. For more information, please visit the Cadence Palladium web page. About Cadence Cadence is a market leader in AI and digital twins, pioneering the application of computational software to accelerate innovation in the engineering design of silicon to systems. Our design solutions, based on Cadence's Intelligent System Design ™ strategy, are essential for the world's leading semiconductor and systems companies to build their next-generation products from chips to full electromechanical systems that serve a wide range of markets, including hyperscale computing, mobile communications, automotive, aerospace, industrial, life sciences and robotics.

ZipRecruiter Launches Breakroom in the U.S. to Bring Job Seekers Real Workplace Insights
BUSINESS WIRE)-- ZipRecruiter® (NYSE: ZIP), a leading online employment marketplace, today announced the U.S. launch of Breakroom, a workplace rating platform purpose-built for frontline industries like retail, hospitality, logistics, and more. With more than one million ratings and counting, Breakroom gives job seekers a clear look at what it's really like to work for different employers—helping them make smarter decisions and find jobs that fit their lives. Before most job seekers hit 'apply,' they've already formed an opinion about potential employers. 70% of frontline workers research companies first, and 84% say employee reviews influence whether they'll apply. However, nearly half (40%) question the trustworthiness of those reviews. 1 That uncertainty often leads to disappointment: only one in three frontline workers say their job very closely matched their expectations 1, with misaligned expectations ranking among the top three reasons they quit within the first 90 days. 2 Breakroom closes that gap by giving workers clear, reliable insights into the things that matter most: pay, schedules, team culture, work conditions, and more. 'Frontline jobs account for over 70% of jobs in America. Breakroom brings fresh data on what these jobs really demand—from customer interaction, to time on your feet, to how and when you're paid,' said Ian Siegel, Co-founder & CEO of ZipRecruiter. 'In the months ahead, we plan to integrate Breakroom's insights directly into ZipRecruiter to help job seekers find the right jobs for them—and help employers hire candidates who are more likely to stay and succeed.' Unlike traditional employer review sites, Breakroom doesn't rely on open-ended reviews, which often skew negative or subjective. Instead, current employees anonymously answer a 30-question quiz, which generates an objective 1–10 rating of their employer. These worker experiences are then aggregated to give job seekers role- and location-specific insights, whether they're considering a warehouse job in Dallas or a call center role in Detroit. 'A year after joining forces with ZipRecruiter, we're bringing Breakroom to job seekers and employers across the U.S. as we seek to fundamentally transform how frontline workers find the right job for them. We're creating a cycle of transparency – empowering workers to shape better workplaces, giving job seekers a real look at life on the job, and providing employers a window into how their workplaces are truly experienced,' added Anna Maybank, Founder & CEO of Breakroom. As part of the launch, ZipRecruiter is introducing its inaugural Breakroom Workplace Index, a new research report tracking workplace trends across frontline industries. The report found that while worker sentiment is improving – driven by better access to paid leave, healthcare, and career development – a major gap remains: only 23% believe senior leadership understands their day-to-day reality. Likewise, wage growth has been largely flat, with a median wage of $20.00 per hour, though pay is rising in historically lower-wage cities as they compete for talent. When it comes to the workplace experience, 61% of frontline workers report having access to health insurance, 67% receive paid time off, and 51% have some choice in their shifts. ZipRecruiter acquired UK-based workplace rating platform Breakroom in 2024. Since its launch in 2020, Breakroom has built a platform that resonates authentically with the rising digitally native workforce. Breakroom has operated, and we expect it to continue to operate, as an independent brand.
