High-Performance Computing
High-Performance Computing (HPC) generally refers to aggregating computing power in a way that delivers much higher performance than one could get out of a typical desktop computer or workstation to solve significant problems in science, engineering, or business. HPC workloads are characterized by a combination of multiple technologies such as storage, compute, networking, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), scheduling and orchestration, streaming visualization, etc., combined with specialized third-party applications.
HPC workloads are classified into categories that help identify the AWS services and solutions that can best match your needs. These categories include Fluid Dynamics, Weather Modelling, and Reservoir Simulation; these workloads are typically called scale-up or tightly coupled workloads. The other HPC workloads are Financial Risk Modeling, Genomics, Seismic Processing, and Drug Discovery, typically called scale-out or loosely...
