PLANO, TX, Mar 17, 2025 – Siemens Digital Industries Software announced the expansion of the cloud platforms available for systems-of-systems development with its PAVE360 technology for Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) development, which is available on AMD Radeon PRO V710 GPUs and AMD EPYC CPUs running on Azure, Microsoft’s cloud and AI platform.
Siemens’ PAVE360 system-of-systems development and validation platform relies on graphics acceleration for exact simulation of scenarios. It also requires quicker processing for AI perception, recognition, inference models, and infotainment visualization. High-performance AMD processors and GPUs combined with Azure deliver effective performance for these essential functions.
“We’re excited to collaborate with Microsoft and AMD. We recognize that our customers have a preference in cloud platforms and associated hardware resources when deploying development platforms for SDV,” said David Fritz, vice president, Hybrid and Virtual Systems, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “With PAVE360 recognized as key enabler for SDV development, extending our support to Microsoft Azure and AMD hardware gives our customers greater flexibility.”
A methodical change in approach is required for automakers to transition to SDV development. PAVE360, powered by Azure, provides advanced cloud-based tools for scalable SDV development. It enables a system-aware view of system behavior and helps detect complex fault patterns.
In many instances, software, hardware, and system defects are not found until late in the design cycle or, when the fleet is deployed, resulting in costly recalls and significant brand damage. A system-aware method for validating SDV helps identify defects early during the modeling and simulation. At this stage, thousands of virtual scenarios can be tested to find edge cases that might go unnoticed. With support from industry leaders like Microsoft and AMD, Siemens advances system-aware SDV validation through PAVE360.
“Our collaboration with Siemens and Microsoft allows automotive developers to leverage our leading AMD Radeon PRO GPUs and EPYC processors to power next generation ADAS and autonomous vehicle technologies,” said Salil Raje, senior vice president and general manager, Adaptive and Embedded Computing, AMD. “We are excited to support Siemens’ PAVE360 on AMD systems to enable developers with advanced automotive digital twin environments and help accelerate SDV.”
“By leveraging Azure’s robust infrastructure and AMD’s GPUs, PAVE360 now offers exceptional performance and scalability for Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) development,” said Dayan Rodriguez, corporate vice president, Manufacturing and Mobility, Microsoft. “This collaboration highlights our commitment to driving innovation in the automotive industry, enabling manufacturers to achieve a system-aware approach to SDV validation and ensuring the highest standards of safety and reliability.”
