Research use cases on AWS (examples) 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 We can create an algorithm that can take 32, 64, 128 different cores, and make it accessible to anyone in the world. Howard Salis Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Penn State 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
Global Impact Initiatives for Science AWS Research Grants AWS Hosted Public Datasets AWS SciCo Team Grants to initiate & support development of cloud- enabled technologies. Typically one- off grants of AWS resources like (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. Dedicated team focusing on Scientific Computing & Research workloads Globally focussed and engaged in Big Science projects like the SKA. Leveraging AWS resources all over the world. Ensuring the cloud is able to make a disruptive impact on science.
