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.

In the search for performance, there’s more than one way to build a network

AWS worked backwards from an essential problem in HPC networking (MPI ranks need to exchange lots of data quickly) and found a different solution for our unique circumstances, without trading off the things customers love the most about cloud: that you can run virtually any application, at scale, and right away. Find out more about how Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) can help your HPC workloads scale on AWS.
