AWS Parallel Computing Service supports P6e-GB200 and P6e-GB300 UltraServers

AWS Parallel Computing Service now supports Amazon EC2 P6e-GB200 and P6e-GB300 UltraServer instances, enabling large-scale GPU workloads using the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture within Slurm-managed clusters.

AWS Parallel Computing Service (PCS) now supports Amazon EC2 P6e-GB200 and P6e-GB300 UltraServer instances, enabling customers to run large-scale GPU workloads using the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture within Slurm-managed clusters. With P6e-GB200 UltraServers, users can access up to 72 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs within one NVLink domain, providing 360 petaflops of FP8 compute (without sparsity) and 13.4 TB of total high bandwidth memory (HBM3e). P6e-GB300 UltraServers offer 1.5x GPU memory and 1.5x FP4 compute (without sparsity) compared to P6e-GB200. AWS PCS is a managed service that simplifies running and scaling HPC workloads on AWS using Slurm, integrating compute, storage, networking, and visualization tools while handling cluster operations with managed updates and built-in observability features.
