A customer asked us what is the difference between the CancelJob and TerminateJob API calls in AWS Batch. This post provides an overview of AWS Batch job states, and how these two API calls effect the job requests that you have submitted.

Large-scale data analysis usually involves some multi-step process where the output of one job acts as the input of subsequent jobs. Customers using AWS Batch for data analysis want a simple and performant storage solution to share with and between jobs. We are excited to announce that customers can now use Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon […]

Molecular dynamics (MD) is a simulation method for analyzing the movement and tracing trajectories of atoms and molecules where the dynamics of a system evolve over time. MD simulations are used across various domains such as material sciences, biochemistry, biophysics and are typically used in two broad ways to study a system. The importance of […]

This post was written by Benjamin Meyer, AWS Solutions Architect When companies and labs start their high performance computing (HPC) journey in the AWS Cloud, it’s not only because they’re in search of elasticity and scale – they’re also in search of new tools and environments. Initially this can appear challenging as there are many […]

This post is written by Deepak Singh, Vice President of Compute Services. At AWS, we love working with customers to solve their toughest challenges. High performance computing (HPC) is one of those challenges that pushes against the boundaries of AWS performance at scale. HPC is also a personal interest of mine, as I came to […]
