Maicon Melo Alves

Dr. Maicon Melo Alves is a senior system analyst and academic professor specialized in High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. In the last five years, he got interested in understanding how HPC systems have been used to leverage Artificial Intelligence applications. To better understand this topic, he completed in 2021 the MBA in Data Science of Pontifícia Universidade Católica of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RIO). He has over 25 years of experience in IT infrastructure and, since 2006, he works with HPC systems at Petrobras, the Brazilian energy state company. He obtained his D.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the Fluminense Federal University (UFF) in 2018 and possesses three published books and publications in international journals of HPC area.

Part 2: Going Faster

In this part, you will learn about the main techniques and approaches that can be used in PyTorch to accelerate the training process of deep learning models. First, you will learn how to compile a model by using the Compile API. After that, you will learn how to use and configure specialized libraries to optimize the training process on CPUs. Then, you will learn how to build an efficient data pipeline to keep the GPU busy all the time. Also, you will learn how to simplify the model by applying pruning and compression techniques. Finally, you will learn how to adopt automatic mixed precision to reduce computing time and memory consumption.

This part has the following chapters:
