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.

Analyzing large amounts of structured and unstructured data

Up until this point in the chapter, we have reviewed some of the typical methods for large-scale data analysis and introduced some of the key AWS services that focus on making the analysis task easier for users. In this section, we will practically introduce Amazon SageMaker as a comprehensive service that allows both the novice as well as the experienced ML practitioner to perform these data analysis tasks.

While SageMaker is a fully managed infrastructure provided by AWS along with tools and workflows that cater to each step of the ML process, it also offers a fully Integrated Development Environment (IDE) specifically for ML development called Amazon SageMaker Studio (https://aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/studio/). SageMaker Studio provides a data scientist with the capabilities to develop, manage, and view each part of the ML life cycle, including exploratory data analysis.

But, before jumping into a hands-on example...
