AWS Inferentia
AWS Inferentia accelerators are designed by AWS to deliver high performance at the lowest cost for your deep learning (DL) inference applications. The first-generation AWS Inferentia accelerator powers Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Inf1 instances, which deliver up to 2.3x higher throughput and up to 70% lower cost per inference than comparable GPU-based Amazon EC2 instances. Many customers, including Airbnb, Snap, Sprinklr, Money Forward, and Amazon Alexa, have adopted Inf1 instances and realized its performance and cost benefits. The first-generation Inferentia has 8 GB of DDR4 memory per accelerator and also features a large amount of on-chip memory. Inferentia2 offers 32 GB of HBM2e per accelerator, increasing the total memory by 4x and memory bandwidth by 10x over Inferentia.

Amazon EC2 G4 Instances
Amazon EC2 G4 instances are optimized for machine learning inference and graphics-intensive applications. It offers a choice between NVIDIA T4 GPUs (G4dn) and AMD Radeon Pro V520 GPUs (G4ad). G4dn instances combine NVIDIA T4 GPUs with custom Intel Cascade Lake CPUs, providing a balance of compute, memory, and networking resources. These instances are ideal for deploying machine learning models, video transcoding, game streaming, and graphics rendering. G4ad instances, featuring AMD Radeon Pro V520 GPUs and 2nd-generation AMD EPYC processors, deliver cost-effective solutions for graphics workloads. Both G4dn and G4ad instances support Amazon Elastic Inference, allowing users to attach low-cost GPU-powered inference acceleration to Amazon EC2 and reduce deep learning inference costs. They are available in various sizes to accommodate different performance needs and are integrated with AWS services such as Amazon SageMaker, Amazon ECS, and Amazon EKS.

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).
