A guide to identity management in Research and Engineering Studio on AWS
Check out this new post to learn about identity options for Research and Engineering Studio on AWS. Understanding choices for SAML IdPs and Active Directory will help you plan secure VDI access.
Securing HPC on AWS – isolated clusters
In this post, we’ll share two ways customers can operate HPC workloads using AWS ParallelCluster while completely isolated from the Internet. ParallelCluster supports many different network configurations to support a range of uses. When referring to isolation we mean situations where your HPC cluster is completely self-contained inside AWS, or where you have a private […]
Call for participation: HPC tutorial series from the HPCIC
Interested in getting hands-on experience with cutting-edge HPC tools? Check out this blog post on an upcoming virtual training series from @LLNL and @AWSCloud. Learn emerging technologies from the experts this August.
Call for participation: RADIUSS Tutorial Series 2023
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and AWS are again joining forces to provide a training opportunity for emerging HPC tools and application. In this post you’ll find out the details of those tutorials, and find out how to participate.
Simulating climate risk scenarios for the Amazon Rainforest
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 Amazon rainforest.
Deploying Open OnDemand with AWS ParallelCluster
In this post, we describe an integration of Open OnDemand with AWS ParallelCluster so admins can provide web-based access to HPC resources beyond what they have at their site, by using the AWS cloud to add new capabilities and extend capacity.
Helping bioinformaticians transition to running workloads on AWS
Calling budding bioinformaticians! If you learn through hands-on practicals and walkthroughs, AWS and GIS have developed training and resources to help you increase the scale and productivity of your research using the AWS cloud.
Quantum Chemistry Calculation with FHI-aims code on AWS
This article was contributed by Dr. Fabio Baruffa, Sr. HPC and QC Solutions Architect at AWS, and Dr. Jesús Pérez Ríos, Group Leader at the Fritz Haber Institute, Max-Planck Society. Introduction Quantum chemistry – the study of the inherently quantum interactions between atoms forming part of molecules – is a cornerstone of modern chemistry. […]
Call for participation: PRACE Winter School
The Inter University Computing Centre (IUCC) in Israel and AWS have joined forces to train Researchers and Research Software Engineers (RSEs) in the use of AWS for High Performance Computing (HPC) at the PRACE Winter School, 7-9 December 2021, and we’re calling for interested groups to sign up and join us.
Supporting climate model simulations to accelerate climate science
The Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative (ASDI), AWS is donating cloud resources, technical support, and access to scalable infrastructure and fast networking providing high performance computing solutions to support simulations of near-term climate using the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Earth System Model Version 2 (CESM2) and its Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM). In collaboration with ASDI, AWS, and SilverLining, a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring a safe climate, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) will run an ensemble of 30 climate-model simulations on AWS. The climate runs will simulate the Earth system over the period of years 2022-2070 under a median scenario for warming and make them available through the AWS Open Data Program. The simulation work will demonstrate the ability to use cloud infrastructure to advance climate models in support of robust scientific studies by researchers around the world and aims to accelerate and democratize climate science.
