Elevating credit unions: Transforming core banking on the AWS Cloud
Credit unions play a crucial role in communities by providing a diverse range of financial services driven by their members’ needs. These services, supported by core banking applications, form the backbone of credit union operations. Traditionally, credit unions use legacy systems for their core banking applications, such as lending, payments, and deposits. But these systems are monolithic, expensive, and lack open architecture, impacting credit unions’ abilities to deploy changes based on market demands. In this digital age, cloud computing offers a transformative solution, and as we will explain in this post, Amazon Web Services (AWS) stands at the forefront.

Accelerating economic research at UBC with high performance computing using RONIN and AWS
Dr. Kevin Leyton-Brown and Neil Newman are computer scientists at the University of British Columbia (UBC) working at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and microeconomic theory. Their research demands large-scale, high-performance computing, in episodic bursts, to run parallel simulations of complex auctions. When Leyton-Brown and Newman began research into the computationally complex auction theory behind the 2016 United States wireless spectrum auction, their ML models required significantly more computing power than their on-premises infrastructure could provide. The UBC team turned to RONIN, an AWS Partner, and the virtually unlimited infrastructure of the AWS Cloud, to accelerate their time to answers and new discoveries.
