 Location: 1 E15

For businesses trying to stay competitive, it’s not easy to learn from increasingly vast volumes of data, cope with the complexity of analysis, or keep up with siloed analytics solutions while on legacy infrastructure. By turning to GPU-accelerated analytics, machine learning, and ETL, companies can overcome slow queries and tedious data preparation process, dynamically correlate among data, and enjoy automatic feature engineering.

Join in to learn how GPU-accelerated deep learning data prep solution Datalogue can cut down 50 days of workflow to 5 days for better customer insights and greater data ROI; how GPU-native data processing solution FASTDATA.io can process a terabyte of data on a single GPU cloud in 35 seconds, instead of nine hours on Apache Spark; and how GPU-accelerated machine learning platform H2O.ai provides algorithms up to 30x faster than traditional algorithms, along with recipes for automatic feature engineering for faster and more scalable inferencing.

This session is sponsored by NVIDIA.

Alen Capalik

FASTDATA.io

Alen Capalik is the founder and CEO of FASTDATA.io, producer of Plasma Engine, the first GPU-native software to fully leverage NVIDIA GPUs and Apache Arrow for real-time processing of infinite data in motion. As the chief architect of a cybersecurity software company, Alen was constantly hindered by CPU-bound data processing Java software like Spark and Hadoop. After exiting cybersecurity, he started experimenting with processing streaming data through GPUs instead of CPUs and saw amazing potential to process data much faster and more efficiently, which inspired him to found FASTDATA.io.

Datalogue

Tim Delisle is the cofounder and CEO of Datalogue, the AI-powered data infrastructure for the enterprise. Tim’s obsession with data stems from too many underslept and overcaffeinated nights working on data problems, inspiring him to cofound Datalogue. Tim holds a BS in cell biology and anatomy from McGill University, an MSc in computer and information science from Cornell Tech, and an MSc in applied information sciences from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.
