Protein language model training with NVIDIA BioNeMo framework on AWS ParallelCluster
HPC Blog
This article demonstrates how to train the ESM-1nv protein language model using the NVIDIA BioNeMo framework on an AWS ParallelCluster cluster with GPU-accelerated instances. It provides a step-by-step guide for setting up the cluster, configuring the framework and datasets, and running the pre-training job.
Specifically, the article covers:
- Creating an HPC cluster using AWS ParallelCluster with GPU instances, Amazon FSx for Lustre, and Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA)
- Configuring the cluster with the BioNeMo framework and downloading the UniRef50 dataset
- Running the ESM-1nv pre-training job and monitoring its progress
- Conclusion highlighting alternative options for deploying BioNeMo on AWS
