Nvidia Workshop Summer 2021: DLI Accelerated Data Science with RAPIDS

Tuesday, June 8, 2021

Traditional CPU-driven data science workflows can be cumbersome, but with the power of GPUs, researchers can make sense of data quickly to drive business decisions. In this Deep Learning Institute (DLI) workshop, developers learned how to build and execute end-to-end GPU accelerated data science workflows that enable them to quickly explore, iterate, and get their work into production. Using the RAPIDS accelerated data science libraries, developers applied a wide variety of GPU-accelerated machine learning algorithms, including XGBoost, cuGRAPH’s single-source shortest path, and cuML’s KNN, DBSCAN, and logistic regression to perform data analysis at scale.

All workshop attendees received access to fully configured, GPU-accelerated servers in the cloud, guidance from a DLI-certified instructor, and the opportunity to network with other developers, data scientists, and researchers. Attendees could earn a certificate to prove subject matter competency and support professional growth.
