Who is this presentation for?

  • Developers and researchers

Prerequisite knowledge

  • A basic understanding of machine learning models and TensorFlow or another ML framework

What you'll learn

  • Understand why GPUs and TPUs are effective for ML workloads
  • Learn how to set up a state-of-the-art TensorFlow distributed training cluster using the latest features and following best practices

Description

Magnus Hyttsten and Priya Gupta demonstrate how to perform distributed TensorFlow training using the Keras high-level APIs. They walk you through TensorFlow’s distributed architecture, how to set up a distributed cluster using Kubeflow and Kubernetes, and how to distribute models created in Keras. Along the way, you’ll discover why TPUs and GPUs are so effective at processing machine learning workflows and learn how to configure TensorFlow to use them.
