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.

Data Management and Transfer

In Chapter 1, High-Performance Computing Fundamentals, we introduced the concepts of HPC applications, why we need HPC, and its use cases across different industries. Before we begin developing HPC applications, we need to migrate the required data into the cloud. In this chapter, we will uncover some of the challenges in managing and transferring data to the cloud and the ways to mitigate them. We will dive deeper into the services in AWS online and offline data transfer services using which you can securely transfer data to the AWS cloud, while maintaining data integrity and consistency. We will cover different data transfer scenarios and provide guidance on how to select the right service for each one.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • Importance of data management
  • Challenges of moving data into the cloud
  • How to securely transfer large amounts of data into the cloud
  • AWS online data transfer services
  • ...
