Advances in deep neural networks have ignited a new wave of algorithms and tools for data scientists to tap into their data with artificial intelligence (AI). With improved algorithms, larger data sets, and frameworks such as TensorFlow, data scientists are tackling new use cases like autonomous driving vehicles and natural language processing.
This document describes the technical reasons for and benefits of an end-to-end training system and why the Pure Storage FlashBlade product is an essential platform. It also shows performance benchmarks based on a system that combines the NVIDIA DGX-1, a multi-GPU server purpose-built for deep learning applications and Pure FlashBlade, a scale out, high performance, dynamic data hub for the entire AI data pipelin
