AIMadeEasy

The Foundation for AI Futures
Imagine being able to extract 8x more insights from your data at lower cost and faster time-to-value. Join DDN, NVIDIA and other thought leaders for this important digital community event to learn how "AI made easy" can turn AI into business value.

Medical imaging is definitely critical
Darrin Johnson
Medical imaging to me is one of the most important fields for applying deep learning because of its direct impact on outcomes for patients.
Darrin Johnson
Obviously autonomous vehicles require AI and is probably one of the most data intensive cases out there.
Yvonne Walker
Genomic processing!
Brian Dowdy
@darrinpjohnson Totally agree Darrin... AI and the application of deep learning toward medical imaging will immediately impact us as a society and personally.
George Vacek
@darrinpjohnson The application to personalized medicine more broadly is also interesting
George Vacek
@YvonneW6463 There are impressive results for acceleration of genome analysis by Parabricks https://www.ddn.com/...
Kurt Kuckein
multi-disciplinary research into AI is fascinating to me, how do the different disciplines learn from each other?
Kurt Kuckein
Performance, ease of implementation AND resilience! David Vellante pointed out how important that last point is. Get it in one package with DDN's A3I with NVIDIA DGX-1. #AImadeeasy
Darrin Johnson
A key message - make it simple. The A3I solution does exactly that.
George Vacek
Well expressed - AI workloads are experiencing all of the challenges that are well known from the HPC world. High bandwidth, highly parallel access... and the data is difficult for traditional NAS systems - Small file access, random access, etc.
Yvonne Walker
My thoughts on the game changer - DDN's ability to fully saturate those GPUs!
Darrin Johnson
Your exactly right...DDN's nearly 20 years of experience serving the HPC community brings both the experience and the technology critical to Deep Learning.
Yvonne Walker
@darrinpjohnson makes a great point - data scientists just want the results, they don't want to be IT admins. This solution is making it happen!
George Vacek
Yes, easy drop in use for all the commonly used frameworks is key.
Darrin Johnson
Check out ngc.nvidia.com to be able to download containers for every major deep learning framework plus a number of HPC applications. Seconds to deploy and start gaining insight.
George Vacek
@darrinpjohnson Yes, exactly, that is fantastic!
Brian Dowdy
@darrinpjohnson Important plug for NGC Darrin! So many folks are interested but maybe weren't in the know of these nicely supported containers.

Throughput and low latency are key to maximizing Deep Learning performance.
George Vacek
NVIDIA GPUs can greatly accelerate the compute, but only if they can be kept fed with data.
George Vacek
Nice example! Acceleration of microscopy image analysis not only speeds to real-time, but also improves the resolution overall. Incredible results from DGX-1 + AI200
Yvonne Walker
Agree! What an improvement!
Darrin Johnson
It is great to see how the combined solution makes a difference and this is only one of many examples.
Kurt Kuckein
@darrinpjohnson no need to compromise on capabilities when selecting and easy to implement and support AI solution
Darrin Johnson
@kkuckein your exactly right. Balanced solution architecture eliminates the bottlenecks.
