WEXAC Public Cloud

The AWS WIS Platform

The HPC (High Performance Computing) section’s objective is to speed up your scientific work and make it more efficient. This includes making AWS (Amazon Web Services) resources easy for you to utilize for HPC workloads.

To that end, we have established a Weizmann Institute AWS service platform facilitating easy onboarding of scientists to the WIS network-integrated AWS resources.

Service benefits include:

  • Easy registration via Internal Services.
  • Billing via internal WIS systems.
  • The ability to specify a monthly budget, to control AWS resources assigned to your account.
  • DevOps services deployment of your scientific solutions on the Cloud.

Introducing AWS

AWS is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, offering more than 175 fully featured services. The platform makes it possible to leverage the latest technologies, so as to accelerate experimentation and innovation.

AWS HPC

AWS provides the most elastic and scalable cloud infrastructure for execution of your HPC applications. With virtually unlimited capacity, researchers and HPC system owners can innovate without being burdened by the limitations of on-premises HPC infrastructure.

The platform delivers an integrated suite of services providing everything required to quickly and easily build and manage HPC clusters on the cloud, so as to run the most computing intensive workloads across a range of industry verticals.

These workloads span traditional HPC applications, such as genomics, computational chemistry and weather prediction, as well as such emerging applications as machine learning, deep learning and autonomous driving.
Flexible configuration and practically unlimited scalability allow you to grow or scale back your infrastructure as per workload requirements, rather than the other way around.

Additionally, WEXAC integration allows you to easily migrate data back and forth between WEXAC and AWS infrastructures.
