The Challenge & Business Impact
The decision to move to the cloud was driven by the limitations of on-premises infrastructure, which could not match the agility and scaling potential offered by AWS. With this migration, NXP gained access to cutting-edge cloud technologies, improved performance for engineering workloads, and enhanced security through automated patching.
Facts and figures
-
Large scale HPC migration (22 PB of storage) to AWS
-
Up to 50% reduction in pending times for cloud jobs
-
Up to 15% improvement in utilization of compute power
-
Enhanced security by automated patching
-
Cloud cost reduction through optimized use of cloud resources
"With AWS and the support of SUE, we’ve become more flexible and scalable while leveraging the latest technologies and security features."

Results & Business Value
SUE executed the migration of NXP’s HPC environment to AWS, designing a landing zone in FSx for Ontap to meet storage performance requirements. This smooth transition allowed NXP to scale their infrastructure dynamically, reducing pending times for simulation jobs by up to 50% and improving compute power utilization by 15%. The optimized use of cloud resources also resulted in significant cost reductions, while automated patching ensured that security vulnerabilities were minimized.
By leveraging real-time job data and reconfiguring the LSF job scheduler, SUE enabled NXP to anticipate and manage job allocations more effectively. This enhanced agility not only shortened time-to-market but also improved productivity across their engineering teams.
With the flexibility to scale resources up and down based on demand, NXP is now well-positioned to handle peak workloads and deliver innovative solutions faster and more efficiently. The move to AWS has provided a robust and future-proof platform for their R&D efforts, ensuring continued leadership in the semiconductor industry.
