Harnessing the scale of AWS for financial simulations
Struggling with long compute times for numerical simulations in finance? See how AWS makes it simple to leverage the cloud for large-scale financial modeling. We walk through a real example using QuantLib and Monte Carlo methods.
Job queue snapshots: see what’s at the head of your queues in AWS Batch
AWS Batch just grew a neat new feature: Job queue snapshots. This gives you the visibility you need for managing throughput in a dynamic environment – with competing priorities – and across multiple queues and workloads. Today we give you the inside scoop on how this feature works – especially when you’re using fair share scheduling.
Integrating Research and Engineering Studio with AWS ParallelCluster
Researchers, engineers & scientists – learn how to leverage AWS ParallelCluster with Research & Engineering Studio for a full-featured cloud workspace. Read this post for details on this new integration.
Optimizing MPI application performance on hpc7a by effectively using both EFA devices
Get the inside scoop on optimizing your MPI apps and configuration for AWS’s powerful new Hpc7a instances. Dual rail gives these instances huge networking potential @ 300 Gb/s – if properly used. This post provides benchmarks, sample configs, and real speedup numbers to help you maximize network performance. Whether you run weather simulations, CFD, or other HPC workloads, you’ll find practical tips for your codes.
Introducing new alerts to help users detect and react to blocked job queues in AWS Batch
Heads up AWS Batch users! Learn how to get notifications when your job queue gets blocked so you can quickly troubleshoot and keep your workflows moving. Details in our blog.

How Maxar builds short duration ‘bursty’ HPC workloads on AWS at scale
In this post, we hear from Maxar’s WeatherDesk team on how they deploy their HPC workloads using a “fail fast” software development technique so they can be sure of meeting customer deadlines for their business.
Instance sizes in the Amazon EC2 Hpc7 family – a different experience
Hpc7g is the first Amazon EC2 HPC instance offering with multiple instance sizes, but this is quite different from the experience of getting smaller instances from other non-HPC instance families. Today, we want to take a moment to explore why this is different, and how it helps.
Simplify HPC cluster usage with AWS Cloud9 and AWS ParallelCluster
This post was written by Benjamin Meyer, AWS Solutions Architect When companies and labs start their high performance computing (HPC) journey in the AWS Cloud, it’s not only because they’re in search of elasticity and scale – they’re also in search of new tools and environments. Initially this can appear challenging as there are many […]
