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.

Summary

In this chapter, we discussed how to build quick visualizations for analytics and machine learning use cases using Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler. We showed a few of the various exploratory data analysis, plotting, and data transformation options available within SageMaker Data Wrangler. The ability to quickly and easily build these visualizations and bias and quality reports is very important for data scientists and practitioners in the machine learning domain since it helps in cutting down on the cost and effort associated with exploratory data analysis significantly. In addition, we discussed Amazon’s graphics-optimized instances that are available for high-performance computing applications such as game streaming, rendering, and machine learning use cases.

From the next chapter onwards, we will start discussing various applications of high-performance computing and applied machine learning, with the first one being computational fluid dynamics.
