EC2 Hpc6a Instances for HPC Workloads

AMD’s new EPYC chips are behind Amazon’s EC2 Hpc6a Instance Optimised High-Performance Computing (HPC) product.

The Third-Gen AMD EPYC Milan processors deliver up to 65 per cent better price-performance than similar compute-focused Amazon EC2 instances, AMD claims.

Amazon is billing its Hpc6a product as it can help customers run their most compute-intensive HPC workloads like genomics, computational fluid dynamics, weather forecasting, financial risk modelling, EDA for semiconductor design, computer-aided engineering, and seismic imaging.

The tech allows scientists and engineers to solve complex, compute-intensive problems such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), weather forecasting, and genomics. HPC applications typically require instances with high memory bandwidth, a low latency, high bandwidth network interconnect and access to a fast parallel file system.
