Amazon Launches AWS SimSpace Weaver, a Large Scale 3D Simulation Computing Service

JAKARTA - Amazon Web Service (AWS) announced the release of AWS SimSpace Weaver, a new computing service for running real-time spatial simulations in the cloud and at scale.

According to his blog, SimSpace Weaver enables organizations to run simulations of situations that are rare, dangerous, or too expensive to test in the real world.

"For example, a city manager cannot wait for a natural disaster to hit a city to test response systems. Scenarios like this need to be simulated in a secure environment where planners can test different situations and tune each system," wrote Marcia Villalba, Lead Developer Attorney for Amazon Web Services.

Villalba claims, by using SimSpace Weaver, spatial simulations that are generally limited to running on a single piece of hardware can now run on multiple Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances.

Amazon also shared a demo where you can see AWS SimSpace Weaver in action simulating 1 million people walking around Las Vegas.

By overlaying geospatial data with simulated crowds of people, this tool can give you an idea of ​​how people might move on the streets of a computerized city if they were all on the street at once.

“By combining the power of Unreal Engine 5 with AWS SimSpace Weaver, customers can scale our City Sample project to over one million interactive walkers. This opens the door for developers to create massive digital twinning and simulations with new levels of realism," said Bill Vass, vice president of Technology at AWS.

AWS SimSpace Weaver is currently only available in US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), and Europe (Stockholm), with availability in additional AWS Regions coming soon.
