A Gentle Introduction to GPU Programming with PyTorch

GPUs are powering all the hype around AI we’ve been seeing these past few years. What makes them the technology for the job? At this talk, I’ll touch on the difference between GPUs and CPUs, why GPUs are the workhorses behind AI, and introduce PyTorch - a Python framework for super easy access to getting code running on a GPU. Maybe we’ll even train a model while we’re at it.
