Course overview

Training sophisticated Deep Learning models takes plenty of time. The Using GPUs to Scale and Speed-up Deep Learning certification programme sheds light on how accelerated hardware like Nvidia GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) or Google’s TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) can be used to shorten computations time on the cloud.

During edX’s Using GPUs to Scale and Speed-up Deep Learning course, you will understand what accelerated GPU-based hardware is and how it can help you overcome scalability challenges in Deep Learning. You will also get familiar with IBM’s Power Systems with Power AI and Nvidia GPU.

The Using GPUs to Scale and Speed-up Deep Learning will also acquaint you with popular Machine Learning dependencies and learnings supported by Power AI. These include Caffe, Theano, Tensorflow and Torch. Lastly, with this course, you will get practical experience of deploying Deep Learning networks on accelerated hardware for numerous problems, such as classifying videos and images.
