In this post, we discuss how Novo Nordisk approached the deployment of a scale-out HPC platform for running AlphaFold, while meeting their enterprise IT requirements and keeping the user experience simple.

Complicated multi-step workflows can be challenging to deploy, especially when using a variety of high-compute resources. Covalent is an open-source orchestration tool that streamlines the deployment of distributed workloads on AWS resources. In this post, we outline key concepts in Covalent and develop a machine learning workflow for AWS Batch in just a handful of steps.

AWS ParallelCluster 3.6.0 can now detect GPU failures in HPC and AI/ML tasks. Health checks run at the start of Slurm jobs and if they fail, the job is requeued on another instance. This can increase reliability and prevent wasted spend.

Oxford Nanopore sequencers enables direct, real-time analysis of long DNA or RNA fragments. They work by monitoring changes to an electrical current as nucleic acids are passed through a protein nanopore. The resulting signal is decoded to provide the specific DNA or RNA sequence by virtue of  compute-intensive algorithms called basecallers. This blog post presents the benchmarking results for two of those Oxford Nanopore basecallers — Guppy and Dorado — on AWS. This benchmarking project was conducted in collaboration between G42 Healthcare, Oxford Nanopore Technologies and AWS.

Many applications leverage distributed task systems like Celery to handle asynchronous work. In this post, we describe how to handle compute-intensive Celery tasks using AWS Batch to scale the compute resources and run worker agents.

In this post, we discuss the “tipping point” problem, using HPC at a large scale to simulate the impact of deforestation to the risk of accelerating damage to the HAQM rainforest.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the benefits of computational chemistry for the circular economy, how it can help reduce waste, and describe the potential for new innovative materials.

Today we show you how to get insights into the costs of running AWS Batch workloads on HAQM EKS using Kubernetes pod labels with Kubecost.

In this blog post we’ll show you how to create an elastic pool of visualization nodes, by combining AWS ParallelCluster with NICE DCV in a novel way.

In this post we show you how to create an HPC cluster and capture the two-minute warning notifications from HAQM EC2 Spot to execute a checkpoint, reactively.
