AWS re:Invent 2019: Powering global-scale predictive intelligence using HPC on AWS (AIM227-S)

Learn how Maxar and Descartes Labs run complex, global-scale models on Amazon EC2 instances powered by Intel Xeon Scalable processors. Maxar discusses its experience setting up an operational HPC cluster to run global numerical weather prediction models, obtaining performance that eclipses the speed of the NOAA bare-metal supercomputer. Descartes Labs shows how its platform enables hyper-scale object detection on satellite imagery accelerated by Intel AVX-512 instructions. It also shares its experience deploying tightly coupled HPC applications that use spot blocks at many-thousand processor scale, using HPC clusters built on AWS instances and powered by Intel Xeon Scalable processors. This presentation is brought to you by Intel, an APN Partner.
