Super Micro Computer offers high-performance, energy-efficient server and storage solutions. It is one of the leading direct liquid cooling (DLC) technology providers for AI (artificial intelligence) data centers. SMCI Innovates New Storage Server Super Micro said that it developed the Petascale storage server using the NVIDIA Grace CPU with 144 Arm Neoverse V2 cores, which support high-performance software-defined storage workloads found in AI and ML (machine learning) training and inferencing, analytics, and enterprise storage. SMCI said that the company closely worked with Nvidia to develop and test its storage server equipped with the Grace CPU Superchip, offering storage software providers a range of hardware choices to address different application requirements. The new storage server will help customers gain from Nvidia's advanced CPU and DPU (data processing unit) offerings to accelerate networking protocols using less power compared to x86 servers. Aside from Nvidia, SMCI is also collaborating with WEKA to develop its high-density storage server. WEKA is a leader in high-performance storage software for AI, high performance computing (HPC) and enterprise data management workloads. Is SMCI Stock a Buy, Hold, or Sell? Super Micro Computer is gradually regaining investor confidence, as the company recently met Nasdaq's listing requirements by filing its delayed financial reports. Moreover, the announcements of the company's AI solutions in collaboration with Nvidia have also boosted investor sentiment. However, some analysts are concerned about the company's weak outlook and ability to meet the ambitious target of achieving $40 billion in revenue by 2026. Wall Street is currently divided on SMCI stock, with a Hold consensus rating based on four Buys, four Holds, and two Sell recommendations. The average SMCI stock price target of $50.50 implies about 26% upside potential. SMCI stock has risen 32% so far this year. See more SMCI analyst ratings Disclosure

Synopsys Accelerates Chip Design with NVIDIA Grace Blackwell and AI to Speed Electronic Design Automation
Announcing Up to 30x Projected Performance Gains on the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell Platform to Speed Circuit Simulations for Next-Generation Semiconductors News Highlights: Today's GTC keynote featured Synopsys as part of the ecosystem with full-stack EDA suite acceleration across design, verification, and manufacturing on NVIDIA GPU and NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries. Leveraging the NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip, Synopsys PrimeSim is projected to accelerate circuit simulation by up to 30x.1 Leveraging the NVIDIA B200 Blackwell architecture, Synopsys Proteus is projected to accelerate computational lithography simulations by up to 20x.1 NVIDIA NIM inference microservices integration driving 2x faster time-to-information with generative AI-powered Copilot.2 Optimizing more than 15 Synopsys solutions for NVIDIA Grace CPU in 2025. SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsys Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced the next phase of its work with NVIDIA to accelerate chip design up to 30x with the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell platform. To achieve this speedup, Synopsys announced at the GTC global AI conference that it is using NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries to optimize its solutions for next-generation semiconductor development. The company is also expanding support for the NVIDIA Grace CPU architecture and enabling more than 15 Synopsys solutions in 2025. "At GTC, we're unveiling the latest performance results observed across our leading portfolio when optimizing Synopsys solutions for the NVIDIA Blackwell platform to accelerate computationally-intensive chip design workflows," said Sassine Ghazi, president and CEO of Synopsys. "Synopsys technology is mission-critical to the productivity and capabilities of engineering teams from silicon to systems. By harnessing the performance of NVIDIA accelerated computing, we can help customers unlock new breakthroughs and deliver innovation even faster." "Chip design is one of the most complex engineering challenges in human history," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "With NVIDIA Blackwell and CUDA-X, Synopsys is cutting simulation times from days to hours—advancing chip design to power the AI revolution." Synopsys and NVIDIA are advancing a multi-year collaborative effort to accelerate electronic design automation (EDA) workloads. Synopsys is further applying NVIDIA accelerated compute architectures, including the NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip, to achieve significant, projected runtime gains for workflows including circuit simulation, computational lithography, Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD), physical verification, and materials engineering. These accelerated workflows include: Circuit Simulation: Synopsys PrimeSim™ SPICE simulation workloads are projected to achieve a 30x speed up utilizing the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell platform. Today, customers can achieve up to 15x speed up utilizing NVIDIA GH200 Superchips. NVIDIA accelerated computing architectures enable the simulation of challenging circuits to achieve signoff with SPICE-level accuracy, reducing runtimes from days to hours. Computational Lithography: The production-proven choice for accelerating computational lithography for more than two decades, Synopsys Proteus™ provides optical proximity correction (OPC) software and inverse imaging technology (ILT) to resolve challenges at leading technology nodes. By leveraging NVIDIA technologies, Synopsys is delivering game-changing technology to advance this computationally-intensive manufacturing process. Today, Synopsys Proteus is optimized for NVIDIA H100 GPUs and integrated with the NVIDIA cuLitho library, achieving a 15x speed up of OPC. Leveraging the NVIDIA Blackwell platform, Synopsys Proteus is expected to accelerate computational lithography simulations by up to 20x. TCAD Simulation: Early results applying GPU-enabled capabilities and NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries to the Synopsys Sentauras™ TCAD process and device simulation solution is projected to accelerate time to results up to 10x. This solution is currently under development and is expected to be available to customers later this year. Materials Engineering: Synopsys QuantumATK® delivers atomic-scale modeling for semiconductor and materials research and development. Utilizing CUDA-X libraries on the NVIDIA Hopper architecture can accelerate time to results up to 100x, enabling customers to simulate and analyze a wide range of materials with greater efficiency. Synopsys plans to continue enabling accelerated computing on NVIDIA platforms throughout its portfolio. Advancing Synopsys Solutions with NVIDIA AI SoftwareSynopsys and NVDIA's efforts to accelerate chip design extend to speeding chip design with generative AI using NVIDIA NIM microservices: Generative AI Software for Chip Design: Today, customers using Synopsys' Gen AI-powered knowledge assistant, Copilot, are realizing an average 2x productivity improvement compared to prior methods.
