Having a huge amount of data, a huge amount of computing is needed.

Is just fine, although I would say

Having a huge amount of data, a huge amount of processing is needed.

It is definitely "a huge amount", since amount is countable.

That said, "a huge amount of computing" is very awkward. "Computing" is not usually viewed as something that you can have an amount of. I would suggest either "a huge amount of computing power" (if you mean that you need powerful computers, or many computers running in parallel) or "a huge amount of computation" (if you would also accept the possibility of one computer running for a very long time).
