Modern deep learning challenges leverage increasingly larger datasets and more complex models. As a result, significant computational power is required to train models effectively and efficiently. Learning to distribute data across multiple GPUs during deep learning model training makes possible an incredible wealth of new applications utilizing deep learning.
Additionally, the effective use of systems with multiple GPUs reduces training time, allowing for faster application development and much faster iteration cycles. Teams who are able to perform training using multiple GPUs will have an edge, building models trained on more data in shorter periods of time and with greater engineer productivity.
This workshop teaches you techniques for data-parallel deep learning training on multiple GPUs to shorten the training time required for data-intensive applications. Working with deep learning tools, frameworks, and workflows to perform neural network training, you’ll learn how to decrease model training time by distributing data to multiple GPUs, while retaining the accuracy of training on a single GPU.
