Case Study: Modern Electron achieves 50% cost improvement and faster simulations with Amazon Web Services

Modern Electron Optimizes Home Mini Power Plants Using Amazon EC2

Modern Electron, a technology company focused on decarbonizing heat and power, needed more efficient computing for simulating its novel heat-to-electricity devices. Using Amazon Web Services and the WarpX simulation software, the company began running workloads on Graviton2-based C6g instances to improve performance and lower costs.

Amazon Web Services helped Modern Electron achieve a 50% cost improvement with C6g instances compared with C5, and testing C7g instances delivered another 50% computation speed improvement over C6g. This significantly reduced time-to-solution and accelerated Modern Electron’s rate of learning.
