#599: Amazon EC2 Hpc7g Instances
How can you build designs faster and predict the weather more efficiently? How can you can carry out complex calculations across HPC clusters using up to tens of thousands of cores with high performance and lower costs? In this podcast, Heidi Poxon, Principal HPC Technologist, talks about using high performance computing (HPC) for a range of use cases from building designs for aircraft and race cars to climate modeling. You’ll learn about newly launched Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Hpc7g instances, powered by AWS Graviton processors, which are custom Arm-based processors designed by Amazon Web Services (AWS). With these instances you can scale your HPC clusters to run compute-intensive workloads such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), weather forecasting, and molecular dynamics.
