Ashot Vardanian - Fantastic Data Science Libraries - SF Python @ Sentry (2023-05-10)
(Full Title: Fantastic Data Science Libraries and Where to Use Them)
It is 2023, and we need to process a lot of data fast, but how? You can switch the BLAS version in NumPy. You can take CuPy instead, to get GPU acceleration for Linear Algebra. You can replace NetworkX with RetworkX and cuGraph. You can replace Pandas with Modin, cuDF or Dask. All of that is easy but comes with different pitfalls and hidden inefficiencies. Let's meet together and learn, what the best tool for the job is!
Ashot Vardanian is a Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Researcher and the organizer of the C++ Community of Armenia. His work mainly focuses on High-Performance Computing and Systems Design, such as GPGPU Algorithms and Compilers, SIMD Assembly on x86 and Arm, drivers, and Linux kernel bypass technologies for high-throughput IO in both storage and networking. He also runs a startup called Unum Cloud and actively contributes to Open-Source with his teams. Learn more here: https://ashvardanian.com/about/
