Book Description
This 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 for
This 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.
