Scaling deep learning on AWS using C5 instances with MXNet, TensorFlow, and BigDL: From the edge to the cloud
Location: Westminster Suite
Secondary topics:  Deep Learning tools, Edge computing and Hardware, Platforms and infrastructure
GAURAV KAUL (Amazon Web Services), Suneel Marthi (Amazon Web Services), Grigori Fursin (dividiti)
Gaurav Kaul, Grigori Fursin, and Suneel Marthi share trade-offs and design choices that are applicable to deep learning models when training in the cloud, specifically focusing on convergence and numerical stability, which are very important for autonomous driving and medical imaging. They then demonstrate how to optimize cost, performance, and convergence using CPU spot instances in AWS. Read more.
