Overview
ParaTools Pro for E4S™ - the Extreme-scale Scientific Software Stack, E4S™ hardened for commercial clouds and supported by ParaTools, Inc., provides a platform for developing and deploying HPC and AI/ML applications. It features an Ubuntu Linux environment with an Amazon DCV remote desktop on the login node, with compute nodes interconnected by a low-latency, high-bandwidth network adapter based on AWS Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA). ParaTools Pro for E4S™ features a suite of over 100 HPC tools built using the Spack package manager and a proprietary MVAPICH-Plus 4 MPI tuned for EFA utilizing SLURM for job management. It features ready-to-use HPC applications (CP2K, GROMACS, LAMMPS, OpenFOAM, Quantum Espresso, WarpX, Weather Research and Forecasting Model-WRF, Xyce) as well as AI/ML tools based on Python (Hugging Face Transformers, JAX, Keras, matplotlib, NVIDIA BioNeMo, NVIDIA NeMo™, OpenCV, PyTorch, TensorFlow, vLLM, with JupyterLab and Jupyter Notebook) and the VSCodium IDE. New packages can be easily installed using Spack and pip and are accessible on the cluster compute and login nodes. It may be used for developing the next generation of generative AI applications using a suite of Python tools and interfaces.
E4S™ has built a unified computing environment for deployment of open-source projects. E4S™ was originally developed to provide a common software environment for the exascale leadership computing systems currently being deployed at DOE National Laboratories across the U.S. Support for ParaTools Pro for E4S™ is available through ParaTools, Inc. This product has additional charges associated with it for optional product support and updates.
This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR), under SBIR Award Number DE-SC0022502 ("E4S: Extreme-Scale Scientific Software Stack for Commercial Clouds").
Note: This product contains repackaged and tuned open source software (e.g., E4S™, Spack and AI/ML tools like NVIDIA NeMo™, BioNeMo, PyTorch, JAX, vLLM, Keras, Hugging Face Transformers etc.) which is configured and linked against a proprietary MVAPICH-Plus 4 MPI implementation specifically developed and tuned for EFA.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for each running instance, with no upfront commitment. The many dimensions all match specific AWS EC2 instance types, so your rate scales with the compute size you choose. Smaller shared instances carry lower hourly rates, while large multi-core, high-memory, storage-dense, and GPU or accelerator instances carry higher rates. This lets you match the price to the hardware your workload needs. The software runs on AWS Parallel Computing Service (PCS) for x86_64 architecture. Total cost depends on which instance types you launch and how many hours you run them.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly rate matches one running EC2 instance of the named type, such as c6i.24xlarge or g6e.2xlarge. You pay the software rate per instance for every hour it runs. Launching several instances multiplies the charge by the count. The rate tracks the size and class of hardware you select.
The hourly software rate meters running instance-hours. Stopped instances do not accrue software charges. If you scale a compute queue down or shut nodes off, those hours stop counting. Underlying AWS resources like storage may still incur separate AWS fees, but the software charge follows running time only.
Each instance bills independently at its own hourly rate. A small head node, such as a t3-class type, carries a lower rate than large compute or GPU nodes. Your total is the sum across every running instance. Compute nodes typically drive most of the cost since clusters run many of them.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
- AWS PCS: 1.4.0
- E4S release: 26.06
- Inter-node communication: EFA or Ethernet (EFA recommended for best MPI performance)
- Default MPI: MVAPICH4-Plus 4.1
- OS: Ubuntu 24.04
- DCV: 2025.0 (r20103) with NICE DCV GL for accelerated remote desktop
Critical (security): this version removes the GNU inetutils telnet server, remediating CVE-2026-32746 (telnetd LINEMODE SLC out-of-bounds write; pre-auth unauthenticated root RCE on port 23). No telnet or inetutils-telnetd package is present and nothing listens on port 23.
IMPORTANT:
- The MVAPICH4-Plus MPI shipped with this image supports both EFA and standard Ethernet for inter-node communication, but EFA is strongly recommended for best MPI performance. To get a list of instance types that are EFA compatible you can use the AWS CLI:
aws ec2 describe-instance-types --filters Name=network-info.efa-supported,Values=true \
--query InstanceTypes[*].[InstanceType] \
--output text | sort
- NVIDIA NeMo, NVIDIA BioNeMo and the AI/ML frameworks are installed into the system Python environment at /opt/python and are importable without activating a separate virtual environment.
- AWS NeuronX is provided in dedicated virtual environments for Inf/Trn instances: /opt/aws_neuron_venv_pytorch and /opt/aws_neuron_venv_tensorflow.

Usage instructions
The 1-Click Security Group opens port 22 only so that you can access your instance via SSH using login 'ubuntu', you may change this later.
For software development and basic usage:
- Launch the ParaTools Pro for E4S (TM) AMI via 1-Click
- On the 'EC2 Launch an Instance' page pick the key pair you will use to login
- On the 'EC2 Launch an Instance' page optionally edit the network settings by pressing the edit button. Adjust the firewall rules if needed to ensure ssh access and enable Auto-assign public IP if you plan to access the instance remotely from a non-AWS IP address.
- Click 'Launch Instance'
- Find your running instance in the EC2 Instances section of the EC2 dashboard, and connect to the instance via SSH using the key pair you previously selected by picking the instance and pressing the connect button.
For more advanced usage, including launching an ParaTools Pro for E4S (TM) cluster with AWS Parallel Computing Service, please see:
