Machine Learning Engineering – Speeding up training using GPU & TPU (FREE)

Date
April 16, 2020
Start Time
16:00:00
End Time
18:00:00

Overview

This is part of Machine Learning Engineering and DevOps Learning Series.

In this series we will demonstrate a neural network  to process images (CIFAR).  Using CPUs the training takes a long time to run (~10 mins).   We will show how how switching to GPU cuts down the training time to just few seconds (under a min).

Also we will show how to utilize TPU system

This is a FREE class!

On-Demand

Can’t make it to live session?  No worries.  Go ahead and register; we will send you the session recording .
