Build, train, and deploy large machine learning models at scale in various domains such as computational fluid dynamics, genomics, autonomous vehicles, and numerical optimization using Amazon SageMaker

Key Features

• Understand the need for high-performance computing (HPC)
• Build, train, and deploy large ML models with billions of parameters using Amazon SageMaker
• Learn best practices and architectures for implementing ML at scale using HPC

Book Description

Machine learning (ML) and high-performance computing (HPC) on AWS run compute-intensive workloads across industries and emerging applications. Its use cases can be linked to various verticals, such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), genomics, and autonomous vehicles.

This book provides end-to-end guidance, starting with HPC concepts for storage and networking. It then progresses to working examples on how to process large datasets using SageMaker Studio and EMR. Next, you'll learn how to build, train, and deploy large models using distributed training. Later chapters also guide you through deploying models to edge devices using SageMaker and IoT Greengrass, and performance optimization of ML models, for low latency use cases.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to build, train, and deploy your own large-scale ML application, using HPC on AWS, following industry best practices and addressing the key pain points encountered in the application life cycle.

What you will learn

• Explore data management, storage, and fast networking for HPC applications
• Focus on the analysis and visualization of a large volume of data using Spark
• Train visual transformer models using SageMaker distributed training
• Deploy and manage ML models at scale on the cloud and at the edge
• Get to grips with performance optimization of ML models for low latency workloads
• Apply HPC to industry domains such as CFD, genomics, AV, and optimization

Who this book is for

The book begins with HPC concepts, however, it expects you to have prior machine learning knowledge. This book is for ML engineers and data scientists interested in learning advanced topics on using large datasets for training large models using distributed training concepts on AWS, deploying models at scale, and performance optimization for low latency use cases. Practitioners in fields such as numerical optimization, computation fluid dynamics, autonomous vehicles, and genomics, who require HPC for applying ML models to applications at scale will also find the book useful.
