Machine learning using PyTorch on DelftBlue and DAIC
This course teaches you how to scale up your machine learning workflows to large amounts of data on a supercomputer.
At the end of the day, you should be able to
- Understand the basic setup of a supercomputer and the possible bottlenecks in Machine Learning applications;
- Run PyTorch examples on CPUs and GPUs on DelftBlue and/or DAIC;
- Assess performance on different hardware and make realistic estimates of resource requirements (RAM, CPU/GPU time, data movement);
- Optimize your workflows to make good use of computational resources;
- Reproduce the steps needed for distributed training on a cluster.
