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.

Tiered storage for cost optimization

AWS provides options for configuring its data storage services with various different tiers of storage types. This significantly helps with optimizing cost and performance depending on the use case requirements. In this section, we will discuss the tiered storage options for Amazon S3 and Amazon EFS.

Amazon S3 storage classes

As mentioned in the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) section, there are various storage classes depending on the use case, access pattern, and cost requirements. We can configure S3 storage classes at the object level. We will discuss these storage classes in the following sections.

Amazon S3 Standard

Amazon S3 Standard is the general-purpose S3 object storage commonly used for frequently accessed data. It provides high throughput and low latency. Some of the common applications of S3 Standard are online gaming, big data analytics, ML model training and data storage, an offline feature store for ML applications...
