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.

Data Visualization

In the previous chapters, we discussed various AWS services and tools that can help with building and running high-performance computation applications. We talked about the storage, compute instances, data processing, machine learning model building and hosting, and edge deployment of these applications. All these applications, especially those based around machine learning models, generally need some type of visualization. This visualization may vary from exploratory data analysis to model evaluation and comparison, to building dashboards showing various performance and business metrics.

Data visualization is very important for finding various business insights as well as deciding on what feature engineering steps to take to train a machine learning model that provides good results. AWS provides a few managed services to build data visualizations, as well as dashboards.

In this chapter, we are going to discuss one such option, Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler...
