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.

AWS services supporting AV systems

The development and testing of AV systems and ADAS require a cloud platform with highly scalable compute, storage, and networking. Being HPC applications, these components were covered in detail in previous chapters. As a recap, we have covered the following topics that are still relevant in this chapter:

  • Chapter 3, Compute and Networking (see topics on architectural patterns and compute instances)
  • Chapter 4, Data Storage (see topics on Amazon S3 and FSx for Lustre)
  • Chapter 5, Data Analysis and Preprocessing (see topics on large-scale data processing)
  • Chapters 6 to 9 (covering distributed training and deployment on the cloud and at the edge)

In this section, we will highlight some more services, including the ones that we discussed in the context of AV and ADAS development. A single autonomous vehicle can generate several TB of data per day. This data is used across the AV development workflow that is discussed at the following...
