Applied Machine Learning and High-Performance Computing on AWS

By: Mani Khanuja, Farooq Sabir, Shreyas Subramanian, Trenton Potgieter

Overview of this book

Machine learning (ML) and high-performance computing (HPC) on AWS run compute-intensive workloads across industries and emerging applications. Its use cases can be linked to various verticals, such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), genomics, and autonomous vehicles. This book provides end-to-end guidance, starting with HPC concepts for storage and networking. It then progresses to working examples on how to process large datasets using SageMaker Studio and EMR. Next, you’ll learn how to build, train, and deploy large models using distributed training. Later chapters also guide you through deploying models to edge devices using SageMaker and IoT Greengrass, and performance optimization of ML models, for low latency use cases. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build, train, and deploy your own large-scale ML application, using HPC on AWS, following industry best practices and addressing the key pain points encountered in the application life cycle.

Observing the results

The recommendation provided by Inference Recommender includes instance metrics, performance metrics, and cost metrics.

Instance metrics include InstanceType, InitialInstanceCount, and EnvironmentParameters, which are tuned according to the job for better performance.

Performance metrics include MaxInvocations and ModelLatency, whereas cost metrics include CostPerHour and CostPerInference.

These metrics enable you to make informed trade-offs between cost and performance. For example, if your business requirement is overall price performance with an emphasis on throughput, then you should focus on CostPerInference. If your requirement is a balance between latency and throughput, then you should focus on ModelLatency and MaxInvocations metrics.

You can view the results of the Inference Recommender job either through an API call or in the SageMaker Studio UI.

The following is the code snippet for observing the results:
