Equipped with up to eight AMD Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), AMD EPYC (Milan) processors with up to 192 cores, High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), up to 8 TiB of SSD-based instance storage, and up to 2 TiB of memory, the new F2 instances are available in two sizes, and are ready to accelerate your genomics, multimedia processing, big data, satellite communication, networking, silicon simulation, and live video workloads. A Quick FPGA Recap Here’s how I explained the FPGA model when we previewed the first generation of FPGA-powered Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances One of the more interesting routes to a custom, hardware-based solution is known as a Field Programmable Gate Array, or FPGA. In contrast to a purpose-built chip…

You can conveniently find and procure solutions in AWS…
Accelerate foundation model training and fine-tuning with new Amazon SageMaker HyperPod recipes
Today, we’re announcing the general availability of Amazon SageMaker HyperPod recipes to help data scientists and developers of all skill sets to get started training and fine-tuning foundation models (FMs) in minutes with state-of-the-art performance. They can now access optimized recipes for training and fine-tuning popular publicly available FMs such as Llama 3.1 405B, Llama 3.2 90B, or Mixtral 8x22B. At AWS re:Invent 2023, we introduced SageMaker HyperPod to reduce time to train FMs by up to 40 percent and scale across more than a thousand compute resources in parallel with preconfigured distributed training libraries. With SageMaker HyperPod, you can find the required accelerated compute resources for training, create the most optimal training plans, and run training workloads across different…
AWS Education Equity Initiative: Applying generative AI to educate the next wave of innovators
Building on the work that we and our partners have been doing for many years, Amazon is committing up to $100 million in cloud technology and technical resources to help existing, dedicated learning organizations reach more learners by creating new and innovative digital learning solutions, all as part of the AWS Education Equity Initiative. The Work So Far AWS and Amazon have a long-standing commitment to learning and education. Here’s a sampling of what we have already done: AWS AI & ML Scholarship Program – This program has awarded $28 million in scholarships to approximately 6000 students. Machine Learning University – MLU offers a free program helping community colleges and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) teach data management, artificial…
