Chris Fregly - High Performance Distributed Tensorflow

In this completely demo-based talk, Chris will demonstrate various techniques to post-process and optimize trained Tensorflow AI models to reduce deployment size and increase prediction performance.

First, we'll use various techniques such as 8-bit quantization, weight-rounding, and batch-normalization folding, we will simplify the path of forward propagation and prediction.

Next, we'll loadtest and compare our optimized and unoptimized models - in addition to enabling and disabling request batching.

Last, we'll dive deep into Google's Tensorflow Graph Transform Tool to build custom model optimization functions.

PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States. PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.

PyData conferences aim to be accessible and community-driven, with novice to advanced level presentations. PyData tutorials and talks bring attendees the latest project features along with cutting-edge use cases. 00:00 Welcome!
