Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
A maker of AI-driven software, hardware, and silicon "blueprints" (intellectual property) that engineers use to design computer chips and electronic systems, including tools like Virtuoso, Innovus, and Palladium. It was born in 1988 from the merger of two design-software startups, SDA Systems and ECAD. The name blends "CAD" (computer-aided design) with a musical term—fitting, since early tools were named Composer and Virtuoso.
