Need to cut your carbon footprint without sacrificing productivity? Migrating HPC workloads to the cloud allowed Baker Hughes to reduce emissions by 99%! Get tips for optimizing compute, storage, networking so you can do better.

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.

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.

Genomics community: rejoice! Seqera and AWS have teamed up to announce Seqera Containers, an open-source, no cost, reliable way to generate containers.

Run simulations using multiple containers in a single AWS Batch job Matthew Hansen, Principal Solutions Architect, AWS Advanced Computing & Simulation Recently, AWS Batch launched a new feature that makes it possible to run multiple containers within a single job. This enables new scenarios customers have asked about like simulations for autonomous vehicles, multi-robot collaboration, […]

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.

Today we dive into details of AWS Batch fair share policies and show how they affect job placement. You’ll see the result of different share policies, and hear about practical use cases where you can benefit from fair share job queues in Batch.

In this post we explore SeatGeek’s load testing system that simulates 50k simultaneous users. Originally built to prep SeatGeek for large-event traffic spikes, it now runs weekly to help them harden their code.

Today we are excited to announce that all 9000+ applications provided by the BioContainers community are available within ECR Public Gallery! You don’t need an AWS account to access these images, but having one allows many more pulls to the internet, and unmetered usage within AWS. If you perform any sort of bioinformatics analysis on AWS, you should check it out!

Containers are rapidly maturing within the high performance computing (HPC) community and we’re excited to be part of the movement: listening to what customers have to say and feeding this back to both the community and our own product and service teams. Containerization has the potential to unblock HPC environments, so AWS ParallelCluster and container-native schedulers like AWS Batch are moving quickly to reflect the best practices developed by the community and our customers. This year is the seventh consecutive year we are hosting the ‘High Performance Container Workshop’ at ISC High Performance 2021 conference (ISC’21). The workshop will be taking place on July 2nd at 2PM CEST (7AM CST). The full program for the workshop is available on the High Performance Container Workshop page at https://hpcw.github.io/
