GlobalFoundries Forms Strategic Partnership with U.S. Department of Energy
GlobalFoundries announced a strategic partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy's Genesis Mission. Under the agreement, the company will open its U.S. manufacturing platform and design enablement resources to Genesis Mission researchers, with GF Labs leading the collaboration. The initiative is designed to accelerate scientific discovery through artificial intelligence and advanced computing, providing a direct path from chip design to working prototype silicon. "American science is generating extraordinary ideas in AI and advanced computing. What's been missing is the bridge from lab to fab," said Tom Caulfield, executive chairman of GlobalFoundries. "By bringing our U.S. manufacturing platform, our PDKs and our multi-project wafer program to the Genesis Mission, we can give researchers a real path from concept to working silicon - and help the National Labs, universities and industry pull in the same direction."
