An introduction to Ray for scaling machine learning (ML) workloads
Wednesday, August 18, 4:00PM UTCModern machine learning (ML) workloads, such as deep learning and large-scale model training, are compute-intensive and require distributed execution. Ray was created in the UC Berkeley RISELab to make it easy for every engineer to scale their applications, without requiring any distributed systems expertise.
Join Robert Nishihara, co-creator of Ray, and Bill Chambers, product lead for Ray, for an introduction to Ray for scaling your ML workloads. Learn how Ray libraries (eg. Ray Tune, Ray Serve, etc) help you easily scale every step of your ML pipeline — from model training and hyperparameter search to production serving.
Highlights include:
Ray overview & core concepts
Library ecosystem and use cases
Demo: Ray for scaling ML workflows
Getting started resources
