About

Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) is a network interface for Amazon EC2 instances that enables customers to run applications requiring high levels of inter-node communications at scale on AWS. Its custom-built operating system (OS) bypass hardware interface enhances the performance of inter-instance communications, which is critical to scaling these applications. With EFA, High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and Machine Learning (ML) applications using NVIDIA Collective Communications Library (NCCL) can scale to thousands of CPUs or GPUs. As a result, you get the application performance of on-premises HPC clusters with the on-demand elasticity and flexibility of the AWS cloud. EFA is available as an optional EC2 networking feature that you can enable on any supported EC2 instance at no additional cost. Plus, it works with the most commonly used interfaces, APIs, and libraries for inter-node communications.

About

Amazon EC2 P4d instances deliver high performance for machine learning training and high-performance computing applications in the cloud. Powered by NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs, they offer industry-leading throughput and low-latency networking, supporting 400 Gbps instance networking. P4d instances provide up to 60% lower cost to train ML models, with an average of 2.5x better performance for deep learning models compared to previous-generation P3 and P3dn instances. Deployed in hyperscale clusters called Amazon EC2 UltraClusters, P4d instances combine high-performance computing, networking, and storage, enabling users to scale from a few to thousands of NVIDIA A100 GPUs based on project needs. Researchers, data scientists, and developers can utilize P4d instances to train ML models for use cases such as natural language processing, object detection and classification, and recommendation engines, as well as to run HPC applications like pharmaceutical discovery and more.
