Research on AWS

• Genomics Research• Statistical Analysis • Mathematical Modeling• Computational Fluid Dynamics• Grid/Cluster/High Performance Computing

• Carat is an application for mobile devices that uses big data to analyze energy productivity and improve cell phone battery life

• By using AWS, UC Berkeley’s researchers are able to focus on research, analysis, and customer service instead of administering computing resources

Research use cases on AWS (examples)

• The Biological Engineering Department scaled to meet the demands of more than 6,000 users, who have designed more than 50,000 synthetic DNA sequences

We can create an algorithm that can take 32, 64, 128 different cores, and make it accessible to

anyone in the world.Howard Salis

Global Impact Initiatives for ScienceAWS Research Grants AWS Hosted Public Datasets

•Dedicated team focusing on Scientific Computing & Research workloads

•Globally focussed and engaged in Big Science projects like theSKA.

•Leveraging AWS resources all over the world.

•Ensuring the cloud is able to make a disruptive impact on science.

AWS SciCo Team

• Grants to initiate & support development of cloud-­‐enabled technologies.

• Typically one-­‐off grants of AWS resources like EC2 (compute) or S3 & EBS (storage) or more exotic like Kinesis & twitter feeds.

• Frequently results in reusable resources, like AMIs or open data, which we strongly encourage.

• Lowers the risk to try the cloud.

• Large and globally significant datasets hosted and paid for by AWS for community use.

• Data can be quickly and easily processed with elastic computing resources in the surrounding cloud.

• AWS hopes to enable more innovation, more quickly.

• Provided in partnership with content owners, who curate the data.
