This document discusses how Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities in the cloud. It notes that HPC workloads require large amounts of data, compute, and people. AWS offers elastic, on-demand infrastructure services like Amazon EC2 and S3 that allow users to pay for only what they use. The document outlines how users can run HPC workloads on AWS using EC2 instance types optimized for compute and GPU-accelerated instances. It shares examples of organizations using AWS for applications like computational fluid dynamics and molecular modeling.
