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 online data transfer services

Online data transfer services are out-of-the-box solutions built by AWS for transferring data between on-premises systems and the AWS cloud via the internet. They include the following services:

  • AWS DataSync
  • AWS Transfer Family
  • Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration
  • Amazon Kinesis
  • AWS Snowcone

Let’s look at each of these services in detail to understand the scenarios in which we can use the relevant services.

AWS DataSync

AWS DataSync helps you overcome the challenges of transferring data from on-premises to AWS storage services and between AWS storage services in a fast and secure fashion. It also enables you to automate or schedule the data transfer to optimize your use of network bandwidth, which might be shared with other applications. You can monitor the data transfer task, add data integrity checks to make sure that the data transfer was successful, and validate that data was not corrupted during the transfer...
