Book DescriptionThis book, written by an HPC expert with over 25 years of experience, guides you through enhancing model training performance using PyTorch. Here you’ll learn how model complexity impacts training time and discover performance tuning levels to expedite the process, as well as utilize PyTorch features, specialized libraries, and efficient data pipelines to optimize training on CPUs and accelerators. You’ll also reduce model complexity, adopt mixed precision, and harness the power of multicore systems and multi-GPU environments for distributed training. By the end, you'll be equipped with techniques and strategies to speed up training and focus on building stunning models.What you will learn
Compile the model to train it faster
Use specialized libraries to optimize the training on the CPU
Build a data pipeline to boost GPU execution
Simplify the model through pruning and compression techniques
Adopt automatic mixed precision without penalizing the model's accuracy
Distribute the training step across multiple machines and devices
Who this book is forThis book is for intermediate-level data scientists who want to learn how to leverage PyTorch to speed up the training process of their machine learning models by employing a set of optimization strategies and techniques. To make the most of this book, familiarity with basic concepts of machine learning, PyTorch, and Python is essential. However, there is no obligation to have a prior understanding of distributed computing, accelerators, or multicore processors.
Dr. Maicon Melo Alves is a senior system analyst and academic professor specialized in High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. In the last five years, he got interested in understanding how HPC systems have been used to leverage Artificial Intelligence applications. To better understand this topic, he completed in 2021 the MBA in Data Science of Pontifícia Universidade Católica of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RIO). He has over 25 years of experience in IT infrastructure and, since 2006, he works with HPC systems at Petrobras, the Brazilian energy state company. He obtained his D.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the Fluminense Federal University (UFF) in 2018 and possesses three published books and publications in international journals of HPC area.
