Best practices for running molecular dynamics simulations on AWS Graviton3E
If you run molecular dynamics simulations, you need to read this. We walk through running benchmarks of popular apps like GROMACS and LAMMPS on new Hpc7g instances and Graviton3E processors. The results – up to 35% better vector performance versus Graviton3! Learn how to optimize your own workflows.
Optimizing MPI application performance on hpc7a by effectively using both EFA devices
Get the inside scoop on optimizing your MPI apps and configuration for AWS’s powerful new Hpc7a instances. Dual rail gives these instances huge networking potential @ 300 Gb/s – if properly used. This post provides benchmarks, sample configs, and real speedup numbers to help you maximize network performance. Whether you run weather simulations, CFD, or other HPC workloads, you’ll find practical tips for your codes.
Accelerating molecule discovery with computational chemistry and Promethium on AWS
Interested in performing high-accuracy computational chemistry simulations faster? Check out this new post about Promethium, a solution from QC Ware that leverages AWS to accelerate simulations by up to 100x.
Save up to 90% using EC2 Spot, even for long-running HPC jobs
New OS-level checkpointing tools can let you run existing HPC codes on EC2 Spot instances with minimal impact from interruptions. Read on for the details.
EFA: how fixing one thing, led to an improvement for … everyone
Today, we’re diving deep into the open-source frameworks that move MPI messages around, and showing you how work we did in the Open MPI and libfabrics community lead to an improvement for EFA users – and everyone else, too.
Deep-dive into Hpc7a, the newest AMD-powered member of the HPC instance family
Today we discuss the performance results we saw from the new hpc7a instance, running HPC workloads like CFD, molecular dynamics, and weather prediction codes.

Running protein structure prediction at scale using a web interface for researchers
Today, we’ll show you our open-source sample implementation of a web frontend and cloud HPC backend to support researchers using AI tools like AlphaFold for drug discovery and design.
Instance sizes in the Amazon EC2 Hpc7 family – a different experience
Hpc7g is the first Amazon EC2 HPC instance offering with multiple instance sizes, but this is quite different from the experience of getting smaller instances from other non-HPC instance families. Today, we want to take a moment to explore why this is different, and how it helps.
Application deep-dive into the AWS Graviton3E-based Amazon EC2 Hpc7g instance
In this post we’ll show you application performance and scaling results from Hpc7g, a new instance powered by AWS Graviton3E across a wide range of HPC workloads and disciplines.
