Siemens Extends PAVE360 Tech to Specific AMD GPUs

Siemens Digital Industries Software has expanded the cloud platforms of choice available for systems-of-systems development with its PAVE360 technology for software-defined vehicle (SDV) development, which is now available on AMD Radeon PRO V710 GPUs and AMD EPYC CPUs running on Azure, Microsoft’s cloud and AI platform.

Siemens’ PAVE360 development and validation environment for system-of-systems requires graphics acceleration for accurate simulation of scenario realization, as well as accelerated execution of AI perception, recognition, inference models and infotainment visualization.

“We're excited to collaborate with Microsoft and AMD. We recognize that our customers have a preference in cloud platforms and associated hardware resources when deploying development platforms for SDV,” says David Fritz, vice president, Hybrid and Virtual Systems, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “With PAVE360 recognized as key enabler for SDV development, extending our support to Microsoft Azure and AMD hardware gives our customers greater flexibility.”

PAVE360 running on Azure offers users the cloud development features necessary for scalable SDV development while providing a system-aware view of behavior and the capability of identifying complex fault mechanisms, Siemens reports.

A system-aware approach to SDV validation, according to Siemens, helps to uncover these defects early in the modeling and simulation phase.

“Our collaboration with Siemens and Microsoft allows automotive developers to leverage our leading AMD Radeon PRO GPUs and EPYC processors to power next generation ADAS and autonomous vehicle technologies,” says Salil Raje, senior vice president and general manager, Adaptive and Embedded Computing, AMD. “We are excited to support Siemens’ PAVE360 on AMD systems to enable developers with advanced automotive digital twin environments and help accelerate SDV.”

“By leveraging Azure's robust infrastructure and AMD's GPUs, PAVE360 now offers exceptional performance and scalability for Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) development,” says Dayan Rodriguez, corporate vice president, Manufacturing and Mobility, Microsoft. “This collaboration highlights our commitment to driving innovation in the automotive industry, enabling manufacturers to achieve a system-aware approach to SDV validation and ensuring the highest standards of safety and reliability.”
