Leading European designer and manufacturer of
specialized semiconductors will use AWS’s proven infrastructure and
unmatched portfolio of cloud capabilities to enhance productivity
for semiconductor design and verification, and free its engineers
to focus on chip innovation
Today, Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company
(NASDAQ: AMZN), announced that NXP Semiconductors N.V. has selected
AWS as its preferred cloud provider and is migrating the vast
majority of its electronic design automation (EDA) workloads from
NXP data centers to AWS. Running on the world’s leading cloud
extends NXP’s efficiency and competitive edge in the design and
verification of advanced semiconductors tailored to the
requirements of automotive, industrial Internet of Things (IoT),
mobile, and communications infrastructure businesses. The
Netherlands-based company uses AWS’s proven global infrastructure
and capabilities in high performance computing (HPC), storage,
analytics, and machine learning to enhance collaboration and EDA
throughput across dozens of its worldwide design centers, as well
as to reduce costs with elastic scaling of compute resources and
minimize scheduling risks for design projects. In addition, thanks
to AWS’s virtually unlimited scale, NXP engineers gain more time to
focus on innovation rather than managing compute resources.
Running on AWS, NXP aims to achieve long-term process
improvements that transform how semiconductors are designed and
tested. Before NXP can manufacture new chips, its designs undergo
extensive testing and validation through the EDA process to ensure
they are functionally safe, secure, high quality, and highly
performant. NXP’s complex EDA workflows include front-end design,
performance simulation, and verification, along with backend
workloads that include timing and power analysis, design rule
checks, and other applications to prepare a chip for production.
Historically, semiconductor companies run these highly iterative
workflows from on-premises data centers with fixed compute
capacity. However, because of the massive compute power involved
for each cycle and the increasing complexity of chip designs,
producing a new device can take many months or even years unless
the companies accurately forecast and install additional compute
infrastructure. In contrast, by powering its EDA with AWS, NXP
gains the scale and agility to advance multiple projects at the
same time on demand, regardless of their complexity, and run dozens
of performance simulations in parallel to accelerate time to
result.
To better manage the scale and complexity of its design
activities, NXP relies on AWS analytics and machine learning
services to continuously refine its research and development
workflows. NXP uses Amazon QuickSight (AWS’s machine
learning-powered business intelligence service built for the cloud)
to generate more powerful engineering and operational insights that
help increase workflow efficiency. For example, by rapidly
translating results from one step of testing into modifications for
another, NXP can reduce the time required to iterate chip designs.
NXP also uses Amazon SageMaker (AWS’s service that helps developers
and data scientists build, train, and deploy machine learning
models quickly in the cloud and at the edge) to optimize how it
structures compute, storage, and third-party software application
licenses. To support this work, NXP is building a data lake on AWS
using Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and AWS Glue (AWS’s
service for simply and cost-effectively extracting, transforming,
and loading data).
In addition, NXP takes advantage of AWS’s range of specialized
instances for HPC to further streamline its EDA workflows. The
selection of instance types allows NXP to meet the unique
requirements of each design project while also achieving a high
degree of price performance. NXP uses Amazon FSx for Lustre (AWS’s
service that provides cost-effective, high-performance, scalable
storage for compute workloads like EDA) to store petabytes of
design simulation data and make it quickly available for
analysis.
“We believe cloud-based EDA is critical to accelerating
semiconductor innovation and getting new designs to market faster
to power an increasingly digital world where more and more devices
and infrastructure are connected. AWS gives us the best scale,
global presence, and selection of compute and storage options, with
continuous improvements in price performance, that we need,” said
Olli Hyyppa, CIO and senior vice president, NXP Semiconductors N.V.
“We’re excited to expand our relationship with AWS to power the
next generation of EDA workloads in the cloud. This will give
precious time back to our design engineers to focus on innovation
and lead the transformation of the semiconductor industry.”
“At AWS, we consider ourselves to be a community of builders,
and this engagement with NXP reinforces what’s possible when you
free builders to work in the best environments, with the
infrastructure and capabilities they need,” said Dave Brown, vice
president of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, Amazon Web Services,
Inc. “By shifting their EDA workloads to AWS, NXP designers will
have access to the best tools available for collaborating on
semiconductor design and development around the world. This move
will help NXP produce chips that power innovation in IoT, connected
cars, and more. We’re proud to support a leading driver of
innovation in the semiconductor industry, and we look forward to
seeing what becomes possible when chip design moves to the cloud at
such a large scale.”
