NEC SX-Aurora TSUBASA or Vector Engine on AI/ML with Python Workshop Presenter: Gursimranjit Singh, Senior Systems Engineer and Deepak Pathania, Senior Technical Leader |
 |
| Abstract | This remote workshop will highlight statistical machine learning based middleware (which is based on Spark and Scikit learn or Python) and also Numpy based API interface/libraries. Achieving very high performance against CPU/GPU because they are running on most advanced and pure Vector Technology. Participants can experience pure vector technology based application codes or other samples. Instructor can provide easy coding related and other advices as well. The pure vector accelerated applications covered will be security related, demand prediction, click prediction, recommendation, clustering problems etc. The target applications will showcase quick acceleration better than the competition, due to the high bytes per flops performance of the pure vector technology. | |
