Nvidia's cuLitho software promises 40x faster chip manufacturing.

Nvidia has introduced software to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence and next-generation chip-making, including cuLitho software library that improves computational lithography, and a bevy of artificial-intelligence products for businesses. Third-party foundry TSMC and electronic design company Synopsys will be using the library, and chip-equipment maker ASML will work with Nvidia to integrate support for graphics processing units on their lithography software. Nvidia also launched four new platforms for developers to build specialized artificial intelligence models and DGX Cloud, a service where businesses can get instant access to artificial intelligence models over a simple browser for $37,000 a month.
