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 services for storing data

AWS offers three different types of data storage services: object, file, and block. Depending on the need for the application, one or more of these types of services can be used. We will go through the AWS services spanning these storage categories in this section. The various AWS data storage services are shown in Figure 4.1.

In the next section, we will discuss the various storage options provided by AWS.

Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)

Amazon S3 is one of the most commonly used cloud data storage services for web applications, and high-performance compute use cases. It is Amazon’s object storage service providing virtually unlimited data storage. Some of the advantages of using Amazon S3 include very high scalability, durability, data availability, security, and performance. Amazon S3 can be used for a variety of cloud-native applications, ranging from simple...
