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.

Summary

In this chapter, we provided a high-level introduction to the world of CFD, and then explored multiple ways to use AWS to solve CFD problems (using ParallelCluster and CFD Direct on EC2). Finally, we discussed some recent advancements connecting the field of CFD to ML. While it is out of the scope of this book to go into much more detail regarding CFD, we hope that the readers are inspired to dive deeper into the topics explored here.

In the next chapter, we will focus on genomics applications using HPC. Specifically, we will talk about drug discovery and do a detailed walk-through of a protein structure prediction problem.
