Need to cut your carbon footprint without sacrificing productivity? Migrating HPC workloads to the cloud allowed Baker Hughes to reduce emissions by 99%! Get tips for optimizing compute, storage, networking so you can do better.

Interested in eliminating friction between data science and engineering teams? Read this post to learn how Amazon successfully transitioned Jupyter Notebooks from the lab to production.

Today we’ll help you understand agent-based models and their potential to impact the environment and socio-economic systems. We’ll explore a few use cases and show how ABMs can improve our comprehension of environmental and social decision making.

In this post, we discuss the benefits of digital technology for the circular economy, and show how businesses can implement these technologies to get the most out of them for the wellbeing of everyone.

The transition to a sustainable economy is a major goal of many organizations today. HPC plays a pivotal role and in this post we’ll explore how HPC on AWS is enabling the shift towards a sustainable future.

In this post, we discuss the “tipping point” problem, using HPC at a large scale to simulate the impact of deforestation to the risk of accelerating damage to the Amazon rainforest.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the benefits of computational chemistry for the circular economy, how it can help reduce waste, and describe the potential for new innovative materials.

As a part of AWS’s “Digital Technologies for a Circular Economy” initiative, we joined forces with Accenture, Intel and Good Chemistry to massively scale quantum chemistry simulations. This is the first and most complex step to discovering new pathways for PFAS destruction for a cleaner world.

Today we announced the AWS Impact Computing Project at the Harvard Data Science Initiative (HDSI) to identify potential solutions that can improve the lives of humans, other species, and natural ecosystems. Deb Goldfarb describes its goals and our joint vision.

The Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative (ASDI), AWS is donating cloud resources, technical support, and access to scalable infrastructure and fast networking providing high performance computing solutions to support simulations of near-term climate using the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Earth System Model Version 2 (CESM2) and its Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM). In collaboration with ASDI, AWS, and SilverLining, a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring a safe climate, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) will run an ensemble of 30 climate-model simulations on AWS. The climate runs will simulate the Earth system over the period of years 2022-2070 under a median scenario for warming and make them available through the AWS Open Data Program. The simulation work will demonstrate the ability to use cloud infrastructure to advance climate models in support of robust scientific studies by researchers around the world and aims to accelerate and democratize climate science.
