Discuss GPU-Accelerated Python for Data Science and Machine Learning w/ NVIDIA!

Technical Aspects: Python, GPU, Programming, Performance

About the talk...

Python is a popular powerful programming language and is growing in popularity for data science. The GPU Open Analytics Initiative focuses on creating common data frameworks to enable developers and statistical researchers to accelerate data science on GPUs. This talk will highlight the performance gains possible and discuss how a programmer can take advantage of the GPU-accelerated analytics without having to know anything about GPUs.
