Organizations in need of an SDK solution with a compiler, runtime, and profiling tools that unlocks high-performance and cost-effective deep learning acceleration
About AWS Neuron
It supports high-performance training on AWS Trainium-based Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Trn1 instances. For model deployment, it supports high-performance and low-latency inference on AWS Inferentia-based Amazon EC2 Inf1 instances and AWS Inferentia2-based Amazon EC2 Inf2 instances. With Neuron, you can use popular frameworks, such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, and optimally train and deploy machine learning (ML) models on Amazon EC2 Trn1, Inf1, and Inf2 instances with minimal code changes and without tie-in to vendor-specific solutions. AWS Neuron SDK, which supports Inferentia and Trainium accelerators, is natively integrated with PyTorch and TensorFlow. This integration ensures that you can continue using your existing workflows in these popular frameworks and get started with only a few lines of code changes. For distributed model training, the Neuron SDK supports libraries, such as Megatron-LM and PyTorch Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP).

Amazon EC2 Trn1 Instances
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Trn1 instances, powered by AWS Trainium chips, are purpose-built for high-performance deep learning training of generative AI models, including large language models and latent diffusion models. Trn1 instances offer up to 50% cost-to-train savings over other comparable Amazon EC2 instances. You can use Trn1 instances to train 100B+ parameter DL and generative AI models across a broad set of applications, such as text summarization, code generation, question answering, image and video generation, recommendation, and fraud detection. The AWS Neuron SDK helps developers train models on AWS Trainium (and deploy models on the AWS Inferentia chips). It integrates natively with frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow so that you can continue using your existing code and workflows to train models on Trn1 instances.

Amazon EC2 Trn2 Instances
Amazon EC2 Trn2 instances, powered by AWS Trainium2 chips, are purpose-built for high-performance deep learning training of generative AI models, including large language models and diffusion models. They offer up to 50% cost-to-train savings over comparable Amazon EC2 instances. Trn2 instances support up to 16 Trainium2 accelerators, providing up to 3 petaflops of FP16/BF16 compute power and 512 GB of high-bandwidth memory. To facilitate efficient data and model parallelism, Trn2 instances feature NeuronLink, a high-speed, nonblocking interconnect, and support up to 1600 Gbps of second-generation Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFAv2) network bandwidth. They are deployed in EC2 UltraClusters, enabling scaling up to 30,000 Trainium2 chips interconnected with a nonblocking petabit-scale network, delivering 6 exaflops of compute performance. The AWS Neuron SDK integrates natively with popular machine learning frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow.
