Maximizing the performance and longevity of your TensorFlow applications on Google Cloud Platform (sponsored by Google Cloud)
Karthik Ramachandran and Kaz Sato take a deep dive into how to use AI platform notebooks and deep learning virtual machines and containers to build, train, and deploy TensorFlow models on Google Cloud.
In particular, they focus on how to get up and running quickly using AI platform notebooks to set up a Juypter-based development environment, how these environments make it easy for you to take advantage of the GPUs offered by Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and some tips on ensuring you’re getting the most out of GPUs, how to improve your training performance by alleviating I/O bottlenecks through TensorFlow I/O, how to use DL containers to work across on-premises and cloud environments by running DL containers both locally and on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and how to ensure the longevity of your applications.
This session is sponsored by Google Cloud.
