Description

The Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) serves as a specialized network interface for Amazon EC2 instances, allowing users to efficiently run applications that demand high inter-node communication at scale within the AWS environment. By utilizing a custom-designed operating system (OS) that circumvents traditional hardware interfaces, EFA significantly boosts the performance of communications between instances, which is essential for effectively scaling such applications. This technology facilitates the scaling of High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications that utilize the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and Machine Learning (ML) applications that rely on the NVIDIA Collective Communications Library (NCCL) to thousands of CPUs or GPUs. Consequently, users can achieve the same high application performance found in on-premises HPC clusters while benefiting from the flexible and on-demand nature of the AWS cloud infrastructure. EFA can be activated as an optional feature for EC2 networking without incurring any extra charges, making it accessible for a wide range of use cases. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates with the most popular interfaces, APIs, and libraries for inter-node communication needs, enhancing its utility for diverse applications.

Description

Amazon EC2 UltraClusters allow for the scaling of thousands of GPUs or specialized machine learning accelerators like AWS Trainium, granting users immediate access to supercomputing-level performance. This service opens the door to supercomputing for developers involved in machine learning, generative AI, and high-performance computing, all through a straightforward pay-as-you-go pricing structure that eliminates the need for initial setup or ongoing maintenance expenses. Comprising thousands of accelerated EC2 instances placed within a specific AWS Availability Zone, UltraClusters utilize Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking within a petabit-scale nonblocking network. Such an architecture not only ensures high-performance networking but also facilitates access to Amazon FSx for Lustre, a fully managed shared storage solution based on a high-performance parallel file system that enables swift processing of large datasets with sub-millisecond latency. Furthermore, EC2 UltraClusters enhance scale-out capabilities for distributed machine learning training and tightly integrated HPC tasks, significantly decreasing training durations while maximizing efficiency. This transformative technology is paving the way for groundbreaking advancements in various computational fields.
