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.

Summary

In this chapter, we first described the AWS Compute ecosystem, including the various types of EC2 instances, as well as container-based services (Fargate, ECS, and EKS), and serverless compute options (AWS Lambda). We then introduced networking concepts on AWS and applied them to typical workloads using a visual walk-through. To help guide you through selecting the right compute for HPC workloads, we described several typical patterns including standalone, self-managed instances, AWS ParallelCluster, AWS Batch, hybrid architectures, container-based architectures, and completely serverless architectures for HPC. Lastly, we discussed various best practices that may further help you right-size your instances and clusters and apply the Well-Architected Framework to your workloads.

In the next chapter, we will outline the various storage services that can be used on AWS for HPC and ML workloads.
