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.

Example use cases of large-scale numerical optimization problems

In the previous section, we discussed a few of the commonly used numerical optimization methods. There are several others that we did not touch upon, and we recommend you check the References section for some great texts on several numerical optimization methods. Several very common large-scale optimization problems are implemented and solved in verticals, such as logistics, manufacturing, telecommunications, health care and life sciences, financial services, and so on. In this section, we are going to discuss a few of the very common practical large-scale numerical optimization use cases and applications. We will discuss the following use cases:

  • The traveling salesperson problem of determining the best route for a salesperson going from one city to the next
  • A dispatch optimization problem for technicians traveling via vehicles and carrying out various jobs in a geographic location
  • Assembly line optimization...
