Talk 1: Running Distributed TensorFlow with GPUs on Mesos with DC/OS (by Kevin Klues, Engineering Manager @ Mesosphere)

Running distributed TensorFlow is challenging, especially if you want to train large models on your own infrastructure. In this talk, I will present an open source TensorFlow framework for distributed training on DC/OS. This framework takes the pain out of deploying distributed TensorFlow, so you can spend less time worrying about your deployment strategy and more time building out your model. I will begin with a quick introduction to distributed TensorFlow on DC/OS, followed by a live demo.

Speaker Bio:
Kevin Klues is an Engineering Manager at Mesosphere where he leads the DC/OS Cluster Operations team. Prior to joining Mesosphere, Kevin worked at Google on an experimental operating system for data centers called Akaros. He and a few others founded the Akaros project while working on their Ph.Ds at UC Berkeley. In a past life, Kevin was a lead developer of the TinyOS project, working at Stanford University, the Technical University of Berlin, and the CSIRO in Australia. When not working, you can usually find Kevin on a snowboard or up in the mountains in some capacity or another.
