Call for participation: RADIUSS Tutorial Series 2023
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and AWS are again joining forces to provide a training opportunity for emerging HPC tools and application. In this post you’ll find out the details of those tutorials, and find out how to participate.
Automate your clusters by creating self-documenting HPC with AWS ParallelCluster
Today we’re going to show you how you can automate cluster deployment and create self-documenting infrastructure at the same time, which leads to more repeatable results that are easier to manage (and replicate).
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.
Application deep-dive into the AWS Graviton3E-based Amazon EC2 Hpc7g instance
In this post we’ll show you application performance and scaling results from Hpc7g, a new instance powered by AWS Graviton3E across a wide range of HPC workloads and disciplines.
Checkpointing HPC applications using the Spot Instance two-minute notification from Amazon EC2
In this post we show you how to create an HPC cluster and capture the two-minute warning notifications from Amazon EC2 Spot to execute a checkpoint, reactively.
Deploying Open OnDemand with AWS ParallelCluster
In this post, we describe an integration of Open OnDemand with AWS ParallelCluster so admins can provide web-based access to HPC resources beyond what they have at their site, by using the AWS cloud to add new capabilities and extend capacity.
Multiple Availability Zones now supported in AWS ParallelCluster 3.4
In AWS ParallelCluster 3.4, you can now build HPC clusters that span multiple Amazon EC2 Availability Zones. In this post, we describe how the new feature works, how to use it, and some implications for cluster design that it raises.
AWS ParallelCluster 3.3.0 now supports On-Demand Capacity Reservations
With #AWS #ParallelCluster 3.3, you can now easily take advantage of #EC2 On-Demand Capacity Reservations to help ensure your jobs have the capacity they need when they need it. This post describes the new feature and how you can benefit from it.
Second generation EFA: improving HPC and ML application performance in the cloud
Since launch, EFA has seen continuous improvements in performance. In this post, we talk about our 2nd generation of EFA, which takes another step in improving Machine Learning and High Performance Computing in the Cloud.
Getting the Best Price Performance for Numerical Weather Prediction Workloads on AWS
In this post, we will provide an overview of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) workloads, and the AWS HPC-optimized services for it. We’ll test three popular NWP codes: WRF, MPAS, and FV3GFS.
