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 explored various data analysis methods, reviewed some of the AWS services for analyzing data, and launched a CloudFormation template to create an EMR cluster, SageMaker Studio domain, and other useful resources. We then did a deep dive into code for analyzing both structured and unstructured data and suggested a few methods for optimizing its performance. This will help you to prepare your data for training ML models.

In the next chapter, we will see how we can train large models on large amounts of data in a distributed fashion to speed up the training process.
