RAPTURE

The RAPTURE project, initiated in collaboration with NXP and launching in October 2023, is set to redefine the future of semiconductor technology and smart infrastructures. The project brings together the Jheronimus Academy of Data Science (JADS), NXP, and academic partners such as Tilburg University and Eindhoven University of Technology, aiming to push the boundaries of data-driven innovation in high-performance computing.

RAPTURE focuses on developing cutting-edge techniques to ensure that NXP’s AI-driven infrastructure and data pipelines work seamlessly with its organizational structure, driving measurable performance improvements. The project’s goal is to achieve “Data & AI Supremacy,” where every element—from machine learning operations (MLOps) to data-lakes—works in perfect synergy, empowering NXP to maintain its competitive edge in the highly complex semiconductor market.

To address the challenges faced by centralized data systems, RAPTURE will explore advanced methodologies such as Chaos Engineering and AI-driven quality control automation. These approaches will not only enhance the reliability and scalability of data sharing across decentralized teams but also reduce the environmental impact of high-performance computing.

Running over the next three years, RAPTURE will offer significant contributions to both the academic community and the semiconductor industry. Insights and advancements from the project will be shared through academic publications, professional articles, and integrated into educational programs, paving the way for a smarter, more sustainable technological future.
