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.

Autonomous Vehicles

Today, almost every car company is advancing technology in their cars using Autonomous Vehicle (AV) systems and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). This covers everything from cruise control to several safety features and fully autonomous driving that you are all probably familiar with. If you are not familiar with these concepts, we encourage you to take the following crash course – test drive a car with fully autonomous capabilities to appreciate the technology and sophistication involved in building these kinds of systems. Companies that are currently heavily investing in AV and ADAS systems require heavy computational resources to test, simulate, and develop related technologies before deploying them in their cars. Many companies are turning to the cloud when there is a need for on-demand, elastic compute for these large-scale applications. The previous chapters have covered storage, network, and computing, and introduced ML in general.
