Undergraduate Seminar — Deep Learning with GPUs: The Next Frontier (Adam Thompson)

Undergraduate Seminar

 

Deep Learning with GPUs: The Next Frontier 

Adam Thompson
NVIDIA

4:00 pm, September 28, 2022
326 St. Mary’s Hall

With the emergence of Deep Learning, GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) have become the accelerator of choice for speeding up a variety of software applications. To fully exploit the GPU’s potential, however, a programmer typically needs to learn low-level (often C/C++) software libraries, identify parallelism, and understand the GPU’s hardware architecture. Fortunately, thanks to recent developments with Python and associated open-source libraries, we can now gloss over some of the technical details and write GPU-enabled code via Python while stressing developer productivity and ease of use. In this talk, we’ll provide a blueprint for getting started with GPUs and even show some basic examples to cement core ideas. Hopefully, you’ll leave this talk with a firm idea of how GPUs work and how they can be used to make your software projects faster.
