Announcing Capacity Blocks support for AWS Parallel Computing Service

This post was contributed by by Kareem Abdol-Hamid, Kyle Bush Today we’re happy to announce that support for Amazon EC2 Capacity Blocks for Machine Learning are now supported in AWS Parallel Computing Service (AWS PCS). This allows you to reserve and schedule GPU-accelerated Amazon EC2 instances for future use. That includes the NVIDIA Hopper GPU […]

Introducing managed accounting for AWS Parallel Computing Service

AWS Parallel Computing Service (AWS PCS) now supports accounting, a Slurm feature that enables you to monitor resource utilization, enforce resource limits, and manage access-control to specific capacity across users and projects in a cluster. AWS PCS manages the accounting database for the cluster, so that you don’t have to setup and manage a separate accounting database. In this post, we’ll show you how this works, and point you to some actual use cases you can try yourself.
