Title

Nvidia DLI - Fundamentals of Accelerated Data Science with RAPIDS

Lecturer

Dr. Laszlo Kovacs, kovacs.laszlo@inf.unideb.hu

Content and organization

  • Whether you work at a software company that needs to improve customer retention, a financial services company that needs to mitigate risk, or a retail company interested in predicting customer purchasing behavior, your organization is tasked with preparing, managing, and gleaning insights from large volumes of data without wasting critical resources. Traditional CPU-driven data science workflows can be cumbersome, but with the power of GPUs, your teams can make sense of data quickly to drive business decisions. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to build and execute end-to-end GPU-accelerated data science workflows that enable you to quickly explore, iterate, and get your work into production. Using the RAPIDS™-accelerated data science libraries, you’ll apply a wide variety of GPU-accelerated machine learning algorithms, including XGBoost, cuGRAPH’s single-source shortest path, and cuML’s KNN, DBSCAN, and logistic regression to perform data analysis at scale.

By participating in this workshop, you’ll learn to:

  • implement GPU-accelerated data preparation and feature extraction using cuDF and Apache Arrow data frames,
  • apply a broad spectrum of GPU-accelerated machine learning tasks using XGBoost and a variety of cuML algorithms,
  • execute GPU-accelerated graph analysis with cuGraph, achieving massive-scale analytics in small amounts of time,
  • rapidly achieve massive-scale graph analytics using cuGraph routines.
