挑战
NVIDIA 是视觉计算技术领域的领先公司，在满足其高性能产品严格的上市时间方面面临着重大挑战。从硅片流片到准备投入市场的印刷电路板 (PCB)，该公司的平均设计周期不到六个月。 NVIDIA 设计团队使用 Cadence 工具来创建他们的 IC 封装和电路板设计。他们还开发了多种用于球栅阵列 (BGA) 扇出和布线的内部工具，以增强其现有的 Cadence® Allegro® 约束驱动 PCB 设计流程。然而，产品小型化和高密度互连 (HDI) 的压力，加上越来越多的限制，正在带来新的挑战。问题是是否要投入时间和资源开发工具来支持 HDI，还是采用新的解决方案。由于 NVIDIA 的设计受到高速限制，但也使用“构建”技术来处理 BGA 扇出，因此他们需要一个高度灵活的解决方案来满足这两类要求。
关于客户
NVIDIA 是视觉计算技术开发领域的领先公司。它是 GPU 的发明者，GPU 是一种高性能处理器，可以在个人电脑、游戏机和智能手机等移动设备上生成令人惊叹的交互式图形。为了满足消费者对此类高性能设备的需求，NVIDIA 必须满足严格的上市时间要求。从硅片流片到准备投入市场的印刷电路板 (PCB)，该公司的平均设计周期不到六个月。 NVIDIA 设计团队使用 Cadence 工具来创建他们的 IC 封装和电路板设计。
解决方案
NVIDIA 决定迁移到最新的 Allegro PCB 设计技术，从 16.2 版本开始，该技术支持约束驱动的 HDI 设计流程。新的 Cadence 流程将经过验证的 Allegro 约束驱动 PCB 设计流程与一套全面的自动化辅助制造规则相结合，适用于所有不同风格的 HDI 设计，从混合构建/核心组合到完整的构建流程。 Allegro PCB Editor 现在包含添加和管理微通孔的自动化功能，以缩短创建构建正确的设计的时间。从前端设计创建到信号完整性再到后端布局，Allegro 16.2 版本提高了生产力和可预测性，同时简化了产品开发周期。 Cadence 解决方案自动将过孔放置在正确的位置，这大大提高了效率并消除了以前用户开发和用户维护的解决方法。现在 NVIDIA 团队拥有集成的 HDI 设计和验证机制，他们不必花时间构建内部自动化工具或执行后处理。

Smart Water Filtration Systems
Before working with Ayla Networks, Ozner was already using cloud connectivity to identify and solve water-filtration system malfunctions as well as to monitor filter cartridges for replacements.But, in June 2015, Ozner executives talked with Ayla about how the company might further improve its water systems with IoT technology. They liked what they heard from Ayla, but the executives needed to be sure that Ayla’s Agile IoT Platform provided the security and reliability Ozner required.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
