Forecasting the weather with AWS Cloud

Dr. Stefan Cecelski, Senior Data Scientist and Engineer, Maxar Technologies

Weather prediction models traditionally run on large, on-premises, high performance computers (HPC). Maxar developed a suite of architectures that reside in the AWS Cloud and allow scientists to run HPC in a much more nimble, scalable manner. In this session, learn how Maxar configured and optimized their Cloud HPC stack to achieve significant performance gains from NOAAs benchmark model, the Finite Volume Cubed Sphere Global Forecast System (FV3GFS). Learn how they created a suite of solutions ranging from hundreds of cores to over 11,000 cores, each of which you can automatically deploy and manage.
