NVIDIA DLI WORKSHOPS
2019
NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI) offers hands-on training for developers, data scientists, and researchers looking to solve challenging problems with deep learning and accelerated computing.
DLI and University of Sannio (Dept. of Engineering) with University of Salerno (Dept. of Innovation Systems) are excited to announce the 2019 series of practical Deep Learning and Accelerated Computing workshops exclusively for verifiable academic students, staff, and researchers.
Program
The CUDA computing platform enables the acceleration of CPU-only applications to run on the world’s fastest massively parallel GPUs. Experience C/C++ application acceleration by:
Accelerating CPU-only applications to run their latent parallelism on GPUs
Utilizing essential CUDA memory management techniques to optimize accelerated applications
Exposing accelerated application potential for concurrency and exploiting it with CUDA streams
Leveraging command line and visual profiling to guide and check your work
Upon completion, you’ll be able to accelerate and optimize existing C/C++ CPU-only applications using the most essential CUDA tools and techniques. You’ll understand an iterative style of CUDA development that will allow you to ship accelerated applications fast.
Where:
Nov 25, 09h30 - University of Naples - Federico II, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (DIETI)
Explore the fundamentals of deep learning by training neural networks and using results to improve performance and capabilities.
In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of deep learning by training and deploying neural networks. You’ll learn how to:
Implement common deep learning workflows, such as image classification and object detection
Experiment with data, training parameters, network structure, and other strategies to increase performance and capability
Deploy your neural networks to start solving real-world problems
Upon completion, you’ll be able to start solving problems on your own with deep learning.
