Powering Innovation: AWS Sponsors Cadence CFD F1 Student Challenge

Partnerships are often the drivers for groundbreaking advancements in the fast-paced world of technological innovation. One such partnership that has been driving innovation forward is the collaboration between Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Cadence. Their collaboration has recently played a pivotal role in nurturing the next generation of engineering talent.

AWS sponsored the Cadence F1 Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Student Challenge, providing university students across the United States with credits allowing access to Cadence OnCloud tools and software. The four-month challenge offered students a unique and cool assignment, providing them the opportunity to use Fidelity CFD simulation software to redefine and optimize the aerodynamics and downforce-to-drag ratio of a virtual F1 race car, ultimately helping race cars race faster.

The collaboration between Cadence OnCloud and AWS has resulted in the seamless integration of Cadence's software tools with AWS Cloud. This integration has enabled engineering teams to leverage the power of AWS for design, simulation, and verification tasks, leading to faster time to market and improved productivity.

The partnership between AWS and Cadence exemplifies the power of collaboration in driving innovation forward. The two companies are empowering engineers to push the boundaries of what's possible. Through initiatives like the CFD F1 student challenge, AWS and Cadence are not only fostering the development of future engineering talent but also inspiring the next generation of innovators to dream big and create a better world.
