Calculating growing degree days using AWS Registry of Open Data
The selection of specific crops (corn, soybeans, wheat etc.) is dictated by the heat units and length of the growing season. This is commonly calculated as Growing Degree Units. The AWS Registry of Open Data contains global weather datasets dating back over 200 years enabling agricultural crop breeders in the seed/chemical/fertilizer business to optimize their […]
Autonomous Vehicle and ADAS development on AWS Part 1: Achieving Scale
Companies focused on Autonomous Vehicle (AV) and ADAS (Advanced Driving-Assistance Systems) development require extensive computing resources to accelerate the development process and get ADS/ADAS vehicles to roads. A typical SAE L2+ company collects and stores 10s-100s of TBs of new vehicle data daily that they have to process and analyze. They need 1000s of GPUs […]
AWS Public Database program adds valuable MIMIC-III dataset for researchers
Biomedical researchers require access to accurate, detailed data. The MIT Laboratory of Computational Physiology (LCP) MIMIC-III dataset is a popular resource that captures a variety of measures longitudinally over time, across many patients, and can drive analytics and machine learning toward research discovery and improved clinical decision-making. Recently, the MIT Laboratory of Computational Physiology (LCP) […]
