Maximizing EC2 Spot Instance reliability for Nextflow on AWS Batch with Memory Machine Batch

AWS partners with providers of innovative solutions such as MemVerge, an AWS Partner Network (APN) Advanced Technology Partner, whose Memory Machine Batch (MMBatch) technology complements AWS Batch by providing advanced checkpointing capabilities for EC2 Spot Instances. In this post, we look at how MemVerge’s technology can overcome the challenges of interrupted pipelines by enabling pipelines that were interrupted mid task to start from where they left off, regardless of Spot Instance reclaims. We’ll also show how MemVerge’s Batch Viewer and proven best practices empower researchers to visualize their workloads, identify bottlenecks, and apply smart strategies that make their pipelines more efficient, resilient, and cloud-optimized.

Powering genetic rare disease diagnostics with AWS at Hannover Medical School (MHH)

The Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) based genetic diagnostics has revolutionized our ability to identify and understand rare diseases, particularly in pediatric cases where early diagnosis, sometimes within a few hours to days, can dramatically improve patient outcomes. However, WGS needs significant computational resources for analyzing genomic data, which presents a challenge to academic medical centers to balance between flexibility, scalability, speed, and cost. The Department of Human Genetics at Hannover Medical School (MHH), one of Germany’s leading university hospitals, has developed an innovative solution to this challenge by using AWS.
