The key highlight feature of Samsung foundry’s first SAFE™ Cloud Design Platform is that it provides a virtual environment to design chips in the cloud. By accessing this platform through the cloud, customers can immediately start designing at anytime and anywhere.
To maximize customers’ design convenience, SAFE™ CDP supports a very secure design condition that has verified with cloud companies. In addition, customers can utilize various Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools offered by multiple vendors such as Ansys, Cadence, Mentor, a Siemens business and Synopsys.
Gaonchips, one of Samsung Foundry’s Design Solution Partners, has already tested the SAFE™ CDP on its14nm automotive project using Cadence’s Innovus Implementation System and has successfully reduced its design run-time by 30 percent compared to current on-premise execution
“We expect that our innovative design platform co-developed in partnership with Rescale will play a crucial role for the fabless industry as it evolves into efficient cloud-based design environment,” said Jae-hong Park, executive vice president of Foundry Design Platform Development at Samsung Electronics. “We remain committed to our efforts to bolster the SAFE™ ecosystem and will continue to collaborate with our SAFE™ partners on developing innovative programs that will help deliver ease of use and greater design efficiency for customers”
As designs move to advanced nodes and as transistor scaling occurs at each node, chip designs become more complex and computing power required for these designs have increased significantly, resulting in greater overhead time and cost to customers.
By adopting CDP, customers can reduce the burden of building their own server infrastructure, while flexibly utilizing additional computing power required for chip design and verification. Furthermore, they can take full advantage of Samsung’s diverse foundry ecosystem which includes EDA, intellectual property (IP), cloud, and design services offered by reputable partners.
“We are excited to be a partner of Samsung Foundry SAFE™ ecosystem,” said Joris Poort, founder and CEO of Rescale. “We share a common vision of a global design cloud platform that efficiently supports a broad ecosystem of technologies and services for EDA customers worldwide.”
To actively respond to the latest technology trends and lower the design barrier for developing competitive SoCs, Samsung launched the SAFETM program in early 2018 and held the first SAFETM Forum in the United States last year. More information on SAFETM can be found here .

Smiths Detection Celebrates Sale of its 2,000 th HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX 3D X-ray Scanner12.3.2026 11:00:00 EET | Press release
Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and screening solutions, today announces the sale of its 2,000th HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX, an industry-leading 3D X-ray scanner with high-resolution 3D computed tomography images and intelligent AI-driven automatic detection capabilities. The HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX is deployed across over 100 airports in Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and the Americas. Operational experience across these regions has demonstrated consistent benefits for airports and passengers alike. Fewer false alarms mean faster, more reliable screening, and as threat profiles change, the technology keeps pace, strengthening security resilience over time. Meanwhile, in eligible locations, passengers no longer need to remove laptops or liquids from their bags, a small change that has a real impact on congestion at security checkpoints. Matt Clark, VP Commercial at Smiths Detection, said: “The sale of our 2,000th HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX is a powerful endorsement of the trust ai
