Deep learning production capabilities at NERSC
Abstract:  Deep Learning is increasingly being used for scientific problems which require large scale computing resources. High performance computing centers are adapting to accommodate these new kinds of workloads which can differ significantly from traditional HPC simulation workloads. NERSC supports and enables deep learning workflows by providing an optimized software stack and by supporting users to deploy their applications effectively and productively. In this presentation we will describe NERSC’s production capabilities for scientific deep learning applications, including details of the software stack, system performance with extensive benchmarking, and workflow solutions to enable productive science. In addition, we will discuss our outlook for the future of AI at NERSC on the upcoming Perlmutter supercomputer and beyond.
