In this post, you’ll learn how KBR—a global science, technology, and engineering solutions organization—achieved a 33.5% cost savings and a 27.09% increase in pipeline processing speed by migrating geospatial processing workloads from an x86 Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M7i instance to AWS Graviton processors while maintaining data accuracy within 0.002% of x86 outputs.

Learn how CloudHedge’s CHAI platform brings together three transformative components: DART (Discovery, Assessment, and Rationalization Tool), Flow Federal Edition, and CHAI Universe Model Context Protocol (MCP). All three components are grounded in the intelligence of Amazon Bedrock.

The University of Michigan Solar Car Team, renowned for their innovative designs and competitive edge, has once again pushed the boundaries of solar car technology. Their recent victory in the American Solar Challenge (ASC) can be attributed, in part, to their strategic use of Amazon Web Services (AWS) for advanced simulations and design optimization.

Where will the next pandemic-causing virus come from? The answer to this pressing question is locked away in the immense diversity of DNA carried around by life on Earth. A research team located at the Institut Pasteur, a Paris-based leading international research organization, plans to break into that vault of knowledge with IndexThePlanet. Read this post to learn more about the project, which aims to index the DNA of all living organisms, identify previously unknown viruses species, and create a DNA search engine.

As Australia moves forward with a national framework for the assurance of artificial intelligence (AI) in government, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is committed to helping our customers implement AI solutions that align with Australia’s AI Ethics Principles. This post outlines how AWS tools and services can support government agencies in adhering to Australia’s AI Ethics Principles when developing AI and machine learning (ML) solutions. The post includes a focus on implementation to help Australian governments responsibly innovate whilst maintaining cloud-based agility.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) hosted the AWS Sustainability Breakfast Briefing on February 20, 2024, in Dublin, Ireland, featuring a panel of sustainability experts from AWS customers and partners, as well as educational talks on important sustainability themes. The main takeaway is that sustainability transformation takes time – but every step along the journey can be meaningful. Read this blog post for a recap of key highlights from the briefing.

One of the biggest scientific achievements of the twenty-first century was the completion of the Human Genome Project and the publication of a draft human genome. The project took over 13 years to complete and remains one of the largest private-public international collaborations ever. Advances since in sequencing technologies, computational hardware, and novel algorithms reduced the time it takes to produce a human genome assembly to only a few days, at a fraction of the cost. This made using the human genome draft for precision and personalized medicine more achievable. In this blog, we demonstrate how to do a genome assembly in the cloud in a cost-efficient manner using ARM-based AWS Graviton2 instances.

The AWS Cloud gives genomics researchers access to a wide variety of instance types and chip architectures and this elasticity allows us to rethink genomics workflows when running workloads in the cloud. Given the increased performance of the Graviton2 instances, we wanted to explore if they can be used for cost-effective and performant genomics workloads. Read on to learn about our generalized approach for determining the most effective instance type for running genomics workloads in the cloud.
