High-Performance Computing (HPC) Solutions on AWS

Modality helps organizations design, deploy, and support high-performance computing (HPC) environments on AWS. We work with AI teams, research groups, and engineering departments to build scalable HPC workflows that meet the needs of compute-intensive projects such as machine learning training, simulations, and parallel processing.

Why Choose Cloud HPC?

On-premises HPC systems are often expensive to maintain, difficult to scale, and limited in flexibility. Cloud-based HPC on AWS provides an alternative that enables teams to access powerful compute resources when they need them—without long hardware procurement cycles or idle infrastructure between workloads.

Cloud HPC enables teams to test, train, and run large workloads with consistent performance and lower operational overhead.

Modality’s AWS HPC Solutions

Modality supports teams deploying HPC on AWS with a focus on automation, workload optimization, and resource management. We specialize in designing environments for technical workloads that need high throughput, large memory capacity, or GPU acceleration.

Our Approach

  • AWS architecture design tailored to HPC workloads
  • Cluster orchestration using Slurm or other schedulers
  • Integration with Amazon EC2 and FSx for ONTAP/OpenZFS
  • Support for GPU-accelerated and bare metal instance types
  • Monitoring, alerting, and ongoing environment tuning

We provide hands-on support and best-practice guidance to ensure HPC environments are secure, predictable, and cost-aware.

HPC for Machine Learning and AI Workloads

High-performance computing is critical for many AI workloads—especially those involving large models, multiple GPUs, or long training times. Modality works with AI teams to run distributed ML workloads on AWS with consistent performance.

Common HPC-Supported AI Use Cases

  • Training large-scale natural language processing (NLP) models
  • Distributed training using frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow
  • Hyperparameter search and model experimentation
  • Computer vision and image-based neural networks
  • Simulation environments for reinforcement learning

We help optimize job distribution, manage instance pools, and monitor training performance across clusters.

Migrating On-Prem HPC to the Cloud

For organizations with existing HPC infrastructure on-premises, Modality supports a structured migration to AWS. We guide teams through readiness assessments, cost modeling, data movement, and deployment in a cloud-native or hybrid configuration.

Migration services

  • Infrastructure discovery and workload profiling
  • Cluster and storage design for AWS equivalents
  • Performance benchmarking and test environment setup
  • Data migration planning using AWS Datasync or FSx snapmirror
  • Operational training and handover for in-house teams

Our experience with HPC migrations helps reduce downtime, preserve application compatibility, and ensure smooth transitions from physical data centers.

Optimized HPC Cluster Management on AWS

HPC clusters require coordination across job queues, compute nodes, file systems, and networking. Modality provides managed support for AWS HPC environments to ensure stable operation and performance alignment.

Management capabilities

  • Cluster launch automation using AWS Cloudformation stack
  • Support for Slurm and custom workload schedulers
  • Integration with major AWS storage services such as FSx ONTAP, FSx OpenZFS, and Amazon S3
  • Performance monitoring, alerting, and log collection
  • Role-based access controls and VPC-level security policies
  • SLA-backed support for availability and incident response

We focus on reducing operational burden so technical teams can concentrate on their work, not infrastructure administration

Use Case: AI Model Training with Cloud HPC

A machine learning team needed to accelerate training for a new NLP model that required multi-node GPU clusters and high-throughput storage. Using Modality’s guidance, the team deployed an HPC environment on AWS with the following setup.

  • Slurm-based cluster with elastic EC2 GPU instances usage
  • FSx ONTAP leveraging tiering policies for cost optimized storage
  • Monitoring and logging using CloudWatch and Systems Manager

The result was a 4x reduction in model training time and significant cost savings by using Spot Instances and automated shutdown for idle nodes.
