What is AWS Inferentia?

AWS has introduced Inferentia accelerators to enhance performance and reduce expenses associated with deep learning inference tasks. The original version of this accelerator is compatible with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Inf1 instances, delivering throughput gains of up to 2.3 times while cutting inference costs by as much as 70% in comparison to similar GPU-based EC2 instances. Numerous companies, including Airbnb, Snap, Sprinklr, Money Forward, and Amazon Alexa, have successfully implemented Inf1 instances, reaping substantial benefits in both efficiency and affordability. Each first-generation Inferentia accelerator comes with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a significant amount of on-chip memory. In comparison, Inferentia2 enhances the specifications with a remarkable 32 GB of HBM2e memory per accelerator, providing a fourfold increase in overall memory capacity and a tenfold boost in memory bandwidth compared to the first generation. This leap in technology places Inferentia2 as an optimal choice for even the most resource-intensive deep learning tasks. With such advancements, organizations can expect to tackle complex models more efficiently and at a lower cost.
