Organizations in need of an SDK solution with a compiler, runtime, and profiling tools that unlocks high-performance and cost-effective deep learning acceleration
About AWS Neuron
It supports high-performance training on AWS Trainium-based Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Trn1 instances. For model deployment, it supports high-performance and low-latency inference on AWS Inferentia-based Amazon EC2 Inf1 instances and AWS Inferentia2-based Amazon EC2 Inf2 instances. With Neuron, you can use popular frameworks, such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, and optimally train and deploy machine learning (ML) models on Amazon EC2 Trn1, Inf1, and Inf2 instances with minimal code changes and without tie-in to vendor-specific solutions. AWS Neuron SDK, which supports Inferentia and Trainium accelerators, is natively integrated with PyTorch and TensorFlow. This integration ensures that you can continue using your existing workflows in these popular frameworks and get started with only a few lines of code changes. For distributed model training, the Neuron SDK supports libraries, such as Megatron-LM and PyTorch Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP).
