Siemens Digital Industries Software announced 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.

Siemens’ PAVE360 development requires graphics acceleration for accurate simulation of scenario realisation, as well as accelerated execution of AI perception, recognition, inference models, and infotainment visualisation – and AMD processors and GPUs and Azure deli performance deliver it.

“Extending our support to Microsoft Azure and AMD hardware gives our customers greater flexibility,” says Siemens vp David Fritz.

PAVE360 running on Azure offers users the cloud development features necessary for scalable SDV development while providing a system–aware view of behaviour and the capability of identifying fault mechanisms.

In many instances software, hardware and system defects are not found until late in the design cycle or, worse still, when the fleet is deployed resulting in costly recalls and potentially significant brand damage.

A system-aware approach to SDV validation helps to uncover these defects early in the modelling and simulation phase at which point many thousands of virtual scenarios can be run to isolate corner cases that otherwise would be missed.
