High Performance Compute
What is High Performance Compute?
High Performance Computing (HPC) involves the use of clusters of processors working in parallel to process large datasets and solve complex problems at high speed.
The growth in compute capacity and services on AWS means that HPC workloads, which historically ran on on-premises grids and encountered numerous challenges such as lengthy execution times, capacity planning, high total cost of ownership, and limited agility, now operate more efficiently and at a lower cost on the cloud.
Benefits of Cloud HPC on AWS.
- Outcompete Traditional Setups: Our HPC solutions consistently outperform on-premises clusters, giving you a competitive edge in your computational tasks. You are no longer limited by fixed-capacity clusters, outdated tech, and resource contention.
- Elasticity and Scalability: With AWS, every workload can leverage its own dedicated resources. Run anything from hundreds to millions of parallel processes, for calculations, simulations, or any demanding computational task in insurance, investments and asset management.
- Risk Mitigation: Evolve and adapt without the concerns of on-premises clusters becoming obsolete or underutilised. Run your workload in our HPC Lab to evaluate the best price/performance of technology options before embarking on a transformative migration.
- Cost Flexibility: Gain transparent insights into your HPC cost structures. Benefit from optimised low-cost Spot instances, run multiple workloads in parallel, explore what-if scenarios, and only pay for what you use.
- Insights: We implement user-facing dashboards for insight into clusters, jobs and workloads. Our observability solutions give engineering teams full insight into operational health.
- Compliance: We guide you to a solution that reduces the effort of security and regulatory compliance by taking strategic advantage of AWS Shared Responsibility Model.
Embarking on HPC cloud migration can be daunting. But what if you had a compass?
HPC Lab provides a risk-free environment for workload evaluation, offering solid performance metrics and cost insights.
Leveraging AWS scalable, low-maintenance compute services including; AWS Lambda, AWS Fargate, Amazon ECS, AWS ParallelCluster, AWS Batch, and Amazon EC2.
Tailored Approaches for Diverse Workload Types.
Including workloads currently utilising: Bespoke cluster and orchestrations, Tibco, Symphony, Slurm, Hadoop/Spark, or .NET, Python and Java technology, including native C/C++ components.
