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 offline data transfer services

For transferring up to petabytes of data via offline methods, in a secure and cost-effective fashion, you can use AWS Snow Family devices. Sometimes, your applications may require enhanced performance at the edge, where you want to process and analyze your data close to the source in order to deliver real-time meaningful insights. This would mean having AWS-managed hardware and software services beyond the AWS cloud. AWS Snow Family can help you to run operations outside of your data center, as well as in remote locations with limited network connectivity.

It consists of the following devices:

  • AWS Snowcone: In the AWS online data transfer services section, we introduced and discussed how Snowcone can be used for collecting and storing data at the edge and then transferring it to the AWS cloud using AWS DataSync. In cases of limited network bandwidth, you can also use it for offline data transfer by sending the device to an AWS facility...
