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.

Designing an architecture for AV systems

In this section, we will be discussing a reference architecture published by AWS called the Autonomous Driving Data Lake Reference Architecture, a link to which can be found in the References section.

The complete architecture is replicated in Figure 13.3:

In this section, we will zoom into parts of this architecture to discuss it in further detail. Let’s start with data ingestion:

  • Figure 13.4 shows how cars may be installed with a data logger or some removable storage media that stores data from sensors. Custom hardware or AWS Outposts can be used to process data that is stored from one or more trips. For near real time, AWS IoT core can be used along with Amazon Kinesis Firehose to deliver data to Amazon S3. Customers can also use Amazon Direct Connect, as mentioned earlier in this chapter, for secure and fast data transfer...
