Case Study: Tenstorrent accelerates AI chip verification with Cadence ChipStack AI Super Agent

Tenstorrent cuts AI chip verification time by up to 4X with Cadence

Tenstorrent, a leader in AI hardware development, faced a significant challenge in the lengthy and manual verification process for its complex AI chip designs, which consumed over 60% of engineering hours. To accelerate development and ensure no bugs were missed before tapeout, they partnered with Cadence and deployed the ChipStack AI Super Agent.

Cadence's solution, the ChipStack AI Super Agent, used its formal agent to automate design intent extraction, testplan generation, and testbench creation. This implementation resulted in time savings of over 100 hours, a 4X faster verification process on some designs, and the discovery of unique bugs missed by human experts. The solution ran securely on Tenstorrent's own TT-LoudBox hardware, demonstrating its production readiness and providing Cadence's customer with a major productivity boost.
