Customizing your HPC environment: building AMIs for AWS Parallel Computing Service
Don’t settle for one-size-fits-all HPC. Unlock the power of custom AMIs in AWS Parallel Computing Service. Discover why tailored images are crucial for security, performance, and your workflows
Discontinuation of NICE EnginFrame effective September 25th, 2025
After careful consideration, we have made the decision to discontinue NICE EnginFrame including NICE EnginFrame views, effective September 25, 2025. If you want to continue using NICE EnginFrame beyond the end-of-support date, we recommend contacting NI-SP, an AWS partner with decades of experience implementing and supporting NICE EnginFrame for enterprises.
Recent improvement to Open MPI AllReduce and the impact to application performance
Our team engineered some Open MPI optimizations for EFA to enhance performance of HPC codes running in the cloud. By improving MPI_AllReduce they improved scaling – matching commercial MPIs. Tests show gains for apps including Code Saturne and OpenFOAM on both Arm64 and x86 instances. Check out how these tweaks can speed up your HPC workloads in the cloud.
AWS Batch enables near-real-time energy production forecasts using NVIDIA Earth-2
Using AWS Batch and NVIDIA Earth-2, we built a scalable workflow that explores millions of scenarios at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. This innovative approach not only provides rapid energy calculations, but also shows the potential of AI-driven meteorology.
Harnessing the power of large language models for agent-based model development
Want to build agent-based models without deep expertise? Our latest blog post explores using Claude 3 Sonnet to tap into knowledge and accelerate ABM development.

Securing HPC on AWS – isolated clusters
In this post, we’ll share two ways customers can operate HPC workloads using AWS ParallelCluster while completely isolated from the Internet. ParallelCluster supports many different network configurations to support a range of uses. When referring to isolation we mean situations where your HPC cluster is completely self-contained inside AWS, or where you have a private […]
Electronic design at the speed of Lightmatter: transforming EDA workloads with RES
Check out this post to learn how Lightmatter leveraged AWS tools like Research and Engineering Studio (RES) and AWS ParallelCluster to meet demanding computational requirements for electronic design.
You told us we needed to re-think HPC in the cloud. So we did.
AWS Parallel Computing Service reinvented HPC in the cloud. Learn how we combined familiar HPC tools with the flexibility of the cloud. And walk through what it is, and why it matters.
Jumpstart your HPC journey with the AWS Parallel Computing Service getting started kit
If designing next-gen vehicles or chasing cures is part of your job, don’t miss this. We just launched a major new HPC service to help you scale complex workloads rapidly. Get the details on how AWS Parallel Computing Service can speed up your R&D.
