Visit SC21 virtually and enter to earn $200 in AWS points
You won't be surprised that AWS offers some of the most powerful HPC products and services on the planet.
However, you may be surprised to find that you can get them up and running for free and experiment with them—just visit the AWS SC21 login page and enter to earn $200 in AWS points.
Starting from November 14th, SC21 will focus on showcasing the world's most extreme HPC applications and technologies, from AI to modeling. But you don't have to travel to St. Louis to participate.
AWS Chief Solutions Architect Dr. Neil Ashton will host a virtual conference on the future of large-scale CFD simulation in the cloud at 11 am Central Standard Time on November 17th. CFD has long been one of the main HPC use cases-this is why F1 teams' competition in supercomputing is almost as fierce as it is on the track. Neil will explain how AWS enables HPC users to run large-scale models on demand in the cloud.
On November 18th, at 1 pm CST, you can hear AWS Chief HPC Application Engineer Matt Koop giving a speech on SC21 about using AWS Graviton2 to optimize numerical weather prediction (NWP). Graviton is an ARM-based processor architecture customized by AWS that supports EC2 instances for memory or computing optimized workloads and general computing. Matt will also demonstrate how to use Elastic Fabric Adapter, which is a custom-built network interface by AWS that can provide speeds of up to 400Gpbs and help accelerate NWP simulations.
Matt will share benchmarks of NWP workloads running on these architectures to show how they can power the most demanding HPC workloads.
If you are lucky enough to attend SC21 in person, you can take part in a full-day course on HPC best practices in the cloud presented by the AWS HPC team and Kelly Keene Werner of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
This session will provide you with a solid foundation of skills to run common HPC workloads and demonstrate how to integrate cloud native technologies into HPC workflows.
Of course, all of these may inspire you to explore how to use AWS HPC products and services for your own projects. This brings us back to the SC21 login page of AWS, enter to win $200 in points, and only pay for a virtual visit.
Just go this way and see how companies such as INEOS, Formula 1, and Joby Aviation use AWS HPC products and services, and then just enter to win $200 AWS points, you can experience some of the fastest and most Powerful technology earth, everything has not left home.
