Case Study: Baker Hughes achieves faster results, lower carbon footprint, and reduced costs with Amazon Web Services

Baker Hughes Reduces Time to Results, Carbon Footprint, and Cost Using AWS HPC

Baker Hughes needed an elastic high-performance computing environment to run computational fluid dynamics simulations faster and more efficiently, while reducing the cost and environmental impact of its on-premises HPC setup. To address this, Baker Hughes turned to Amazon Web Services and used services including Amazon EC2 for HPC workloads.

Amazon Web Services implemented an AWS HPC solution using Amazon EC2, EFA, placement groups, Amazon S3, Amazon FSx for Lustre, AWS CodePipeline, and Amazon WorkSpaces. The results were substantial: wait time and carbon footprint were reduced by over 90%, costs fell by 40%, and more than 150 engineers across Italy, India, and the United States were able to run more simulations with better accuracy and fewer test iterations.
