About AWS Parallel Computing Service
AWS Parallel Computing Service (AWS PCS) is a managed service that simplifies running and scaling high-performance computing workloads and building scientific and engineering models on AWS using Slurm. It enables the creation of complete, elastic environments that integrate computing, storage, networking, and visualization tools, allowing users to focus on research and innovation without the burden of infrastructure management. AWS PCS offers managed updates and built-in observability features, enhancing cluster operations and maintenance. Users can build and deploy scalable, reliable, and secure HPC clusters through the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or AWS SDK. The service supports various use cases, including tightly coupled workloads like computer-aided engineering, high-throughput computing such as genomics analysis, accelerated computing with GPUs, and custom silicon like AWS Trainium and AWS Inferentia.

Amazon EC2 UltraClusters
Amazon EC2 UltraClusters enable you to scale to thousands of GPUs or purpose-built machine learning accelerators, such as AWS Trainium, providing on-demand access to supercomputing-class performance. They democratize supercomputing for ML, generative AI, and high-performance computing developers through a simple pay-as-you-go model without setup or maintenance costs. UltraClusters consist of thousands of accelerated EC2 instances co-located in a given AWS Availability Zone, interconnected using Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking in a petabit-scale nonblocking network. This architecture offers high-performance networking and access to Amazon FSx for Lustre, a fully managed shared storage built on a high-performance parallel file system, enabling rapid processing of massive datasets with sub-millisecond latencies. EC2 UltraClusters provide scale-out capabilities for distributed ML training and tightly coupled HPC workloads, reducing training times.

AWS ParallelCluster
AWS ParallelCluster is an open-source cluster management tool that simplifies the deployment and management of High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters on AWS. It automates the setup of required resources, including compute nodes, a shared filesystem, and a job scheduler, supporting multiple instance types and job submission queues. Users can interact with ParallelCluster through a graphical user interface, command-line interface, or API, enabling flexible cluster configuration and management. The tool integrates with job schedulers like AWS Batch and Slurm, facilitating seamless migration of existing HPC workloads to the cloud with minimal modifications. AWS ParallelCluster is available at no additional charge; users only pay for the AWS resources consumed by their applications. With AWS ParallelCluster, you can use a simple text file to model, provision, and dynamically scale the resources needed for your applications in an automated and secure manner.
