Introduction to Cloud-based Deep Learning

The Translational AI Center (TrAC) at Iowa State University along with CyVerse.org will host a day long hybrid workshop on Introduction to Cloud-based Deep Learning. This workshop will introduce you to concepts in cloud, containerization, and GPU computing with Python. We will demonstrate a simple deep learning application problem using public research cyberinfrastructure with version control systems and containerization.

The workshop is split into two parts:

• Introduction to CyVerse cyberinfrastructure (1.5hrs)
  • iRODS Data Store
  • Discovery Environment data science workbench
  • JetStream-2 OpenStack Cloud
  • Containers with Docker and Kubernetes
• Introduction to Deep Learning with Project Jupyter (1.5hrs)
  • Data Management (15 mins)
  • Data Analysis (15 mins)
  • Concepts in training with a predefined standard network architecture (30 mins)
  • Performing model inference (15 mins)
  • Version control and Reproducibility (15 mins)

• Introduction to GPU computing (20 mins)
• Setting up your analysis environment for programming in Python
  • on Google Colab (15 mins)
  • on Windows (20 mins)
  • on Linux (20 mins)
  • on HPC (30 mins)

Prerequisites: Basic understanding of the command line and at least one scientific programming language
