Samsung achieved a roughly 1,600x speedup in one chip engineering simulation by combining AI-predicted material properties, coarser computational grids and Nvidia GPU acceleration, Nvidia said. The comparison reduced simulation time from about 18 hours on a 32-core CPU using a fine grid to 41 seconds using a GPU and coarse grid. The work forms part of Samsung's expanding collaboration with Nvidia across materials research, process development and device engineering. Samsung's sMOL platform also ran selected quantum chemical calculations up to 5x faster end to end with Nvidia cuEST. The larger simulation speedup reflects changes to both the computational method and hardware.
