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.

Processing data at scale on AWS

In the previous section, Analyzing large amounts of unstructured data, the data was stored in an S3 bucket, which was used for training. There will be scenarios where you will need to load data faster for training instead of waiting for the training job to copy the data from S3 locally into your training instance. In these scenarios, you can store the data on a file system, such as Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) or Amazon FSx, and mount it to the training instance, which will be faster than storing the data in S3 location. The code for this is in the 3_unstructured_data.ipynb notebook. Refer to the Optimize it with data on EFS and Optimize it with data on FSX sections in the notebook.

Note

Before you run the Optimize it with data on EFS and Optimize it with data on FSX sections, please launch the CloudFormation template_filesystems.yaml template, in a similar fashion as we did in the Setting up EMR and SageMaker Studio section.
