Announcing Amazon EC2 Hpc6id Instance for HPC Workloads Today, we announce the general availability of https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/hpc6i/, a new instance type that is purpose-built for tightly coupled HPC workloads. Amazon EC2 Hpc6id instances are powered by 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Ice Lake) that run at frequencies up to 3.5 GHz, 1024 GiB memory, 15.2 TB local SSD disk, 200 Gbps https://aws.amazon.com/hpc/efa/ (EFA) network bandwidth, which is 4x higher than https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/r6i/. Amazon EC2 Hpc6id instances have the best per-vCPU HPC performance when compared to similar x86-based EC2 instances for data-intensive HPC workloads.

Amazon EC2 Hpc6id Instances Use Cases Customers running license-bound scenarios can lower infrastructure and HPC software licensing costs with Hpc6id.

To optimize Amazon EC2 Hpc6id instances networking for tightly coupled workloads, use cluster placement groups within a single Availability Zone.
