Expectations for AI commercial applications are very high, but there is a growing resources problem that has to be addressed. Despite significant progress in hardware performance, every year we observe increase in the number of compute units and time required for training . Large Language Models such as GPT-3 are reported to be train on thousands of GPUs for time that exceeds 1 month. To fully understand what is possible to achieve in the near future, it is critical to understand capabilities of hardware that is powering AI revolution. Maintaining current scientific research momentum will require new, much more efficient accelerators, otherwise AI will get monopolized and constantly. Join me in &#8220;Demystifying AI acceleration&#8221; session where I will explain how does AI acceleration hardware work and what are it&#8217;s future challenges. I have 7 years of experience working on software for GPUs and ML accelerators. My specialization are computational kernels and I gained experience working in projects like: Intel GPU Drivers, compute Kernels for Intel\/Nervana Crest, compute kernels for the Intel OneDNN library, Graphcore Poplar SDK software. I will discuss:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul class=\"pl-5 list-disc mb-4\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Parts of hardware that are dedicated to execute operations common in Machine Learning<\/li>\n<li>Ways to parallelize computations<\/li>\n<li>Common performance and precision problems<\/li>\n<li>Implications for AI models<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em>Talk #2<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Stable Diffusion in practice: generating music based on natural language descriptions using IPUs in the cloud by Pawe\u0142 Ro\u015bciszewski<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Are you also impressed by the capabilities of recent generative AI models? For example, Stable Diffusion generates detailed, high-quality images based on descriptions in natural language. But did you know that generative AI is not limited to text and images? Have a glimpse on this topic through the eyes of a Graphcore AI Engineer and see how these fascinating models can be used for a music generation service supported by Intelligence Processing Units in the cloud.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em>A few words from Pawe\u0142<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nSince high school, I&#8217;ve been asking myself what AI really means and how it relates to human consciousness. That is when I borrowed the book &#8220;The secret of the Chinese room&#8221; by Stanis\u0142aw Lem. That is also when I implemented the first, naive version of the Gwent card game inside a Witcher-inspired world. Knowing that the dwarves were only shouting random phrases from Andrzej Sapkowski&#8217;s books helped me to cope with the anxiety about how dangerous AI can become. Working at Graphcore and being close to the internals of AI models helps me to keep calm. AI gets so good at many things, but how good can it get at creating such a personal and intangible thing as music? After years of lecturing at Gda\u0144sk University of Technology I know that in order to really understand something, you need to try and explain it to others. Come to my first talk about music generation to help me understand what I&#8217;m actually doing.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/pl-PL\/pydata-trojmiasto\/events\/292669628\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">REGISTRATION<\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","imie_i_nazwisko":"Graphcore"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
