Part 7/12:
System Design Automation (SDA): Entire systems comprising multiple components can be modeled and tested virtually before physical prototypes are built.
Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE): Mechanical stresses, thermal dynamics, and fluid flows can be precisely simulated to improve product reliability and performance.
Computer-Aided Drug Discovery: Molecular interactions and biological systems can be modeled with high fidelity, expediting the development of new medicines.
The combined market for these fields runs into trillions of dollars. As Huang notes, companies are now compelled to adopt GPU-based workflows because CPU-based methods are no longer sufficient to meet modern, complex requirements.
