In this video from the 2019 Stanford HPC Conference, Mohan Potheri from VMware presents: Accelerating & Optimizing Machine Learning on VMware vSphere leveraging NVIDIA GPUs.
This session introduces machine learning on vSphere to the attendee and explains when and why GPUs are important for them. Basic machine learning with Apache Spark is demonstrated. GPUs can be effectively shared in vSphere environments and the various methods of sharing are addressed here. We will explore features like suspending/resuming a VM that has GPUs attached to it, for sharing of those resources. Compelling use cases were developed leveraging vSphere’s GPU capabilities. These use cases showcase deep learning with GPGPUs for image processing, stock prediction and distributed training. References to various technical papers will be given.”
