In addition, Bill Dally, chief scientist and senior vice president of research at Nvidia, recently said that the company has begun designing chips using an automatic standard cell layout generator called NVCell.

This AI can not only find out the errors in the layout of human design chips, but also design chips themselves, and the efficiency is much faster than humans. It is understood that NVCell only needs two GPUs to basically complete the workload of a team of 10 people in a year in a few days.

"NVCell has done two things for us: one is that it saves a lot of labor," he said. A group of about 10 people would take a year to transplant a new technology library. Now we can do this with a few GPU running for a few days. Humans can then process those 8% of the units that don't do it automatically. In addition, we can eventually get a better design. As a result, this is both labor-saving and better than human design. ”
