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.

Best practices for HPC workloads

The AWS Well-Architected Framework helps with the architecting of secure, cost-effective, resilient, and high-performing applications and workloads on the cloud. It is the go-to reference when building any application. Details about the AWS Well-Architected Framework can be obtained at https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/well-architected/. However, applications in certain domains and verticals require further scrutiny and have details that need to be handled differently from the generic guidance that the AWS Well-Architected Framework provides. Thus, we have many other documents called lenses that provide best practice guidance; some of these lenses that are relevant to our current discussion are listed as follows:
