Description

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 Deep Learning Institute (DLI) workshop, developers will learn how to build and execute end-to-end GPUaccelerated data science workflows that enable them to quickly explore, iterate, and get their work into production. Using the RAPIDS accelerated data science libraries, developers will 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.

All workshop attendees get access to fully configured, GPU-accelerated servers in the cloud, guidance from a DLI-certified instructor, and the opportunity to network with other developers, data scientists, and researchers. Attendees can earn a certificate to prove subject matter competency and support professional growth.

 

Objectives

In this workshop, developers will learn how 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

Prerequisites

  • Experience with Python, ideally including pandas and NumPy.
  • To gain experience with pandas, we suggest this pandas course on Kaggle.
  • To gain experience with data science using Python, we suggest this  machine learning course on Kaggle.
  • To get experience accelerating data science workflows, we suggest the  Accelerating Data Science Workflows with RAPIDS course with DLI.

 

Outline

Introduction  (15 mins)

GPU-Accelerated  Data Manipulation  (120 mins)

  • Ingest and prepare several datasets (some larger-than-memory) for use in multiple machine learning exercises later in the workshop.
  •  Read data directly to single and multiple GPUs with cuDF and Dask cuDF.
  •  Prepare population, road network, and clinic information for machine learning tasks on the GPU with cuDF.

GPU-Accelerated  Machine Learning (120 mins)

  • Apply several essential machine learning techniques to the data that was prepared in the first section.
  • Use supervised and unsupervised GPU-accelerated algorithms with cuML
  • Train XGBoost models with Dask on multiple GPUs.
  • Create and analyze graph data on the GPU with cuGraph.

Project: Data Analysis to  Save the UK (120 mins)

  • Apply new GPU-accelerated data manipulation and analysis skills with population-scale data to help stave off a simulated epidemic affecting the entire UK population.
  • Use RAPIDS to integrate multiple massive datasets and perform real-world analysis.
  • Pivot and iterate on your analysis as the simulated epidemic provides new data for each simulated day.

Assessment and Q&A  (15 mins)
