Amazon Web Services has introduced new Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances designed for HPC workloads, powered by AMD’s third generation EPYC processors.
The cloud vendor said the instances codenamed ‘Hpc6a’ offer up to 65 percent better price-performance than similar compute-optimized, x86-based EC2 instances.
Potential applications for all this compute include genomics, computational fluid dynamics, weather forecasting, financial risk modeling, electronic design automation, computer-aided engineering, and seismic imaging.
