In today’s video, we’re going to take a workload that trains an image classification neural net and show how you can use Cloudera Machine Learning to leverage Nvidia GPUs to achieve impressive speed improvements without any substantial code changes.

NVIDIA and Cloudera have partnered to bring NVIDIA GPU acceleration to the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP). In this quick demo, you can see how using GPUs can cut the time of an example ETL Spark job from over two hours to just a few minutes.

Cloudera Operational Database (COD) is an operational database as a service that brings ease of use and flexibility. Let’s see how easy it is to create a new database!

Our “Hello, “ series of introductory “Big Data” topic-focused meetups returns to Boston in July as we deliver our fifth event. This meetup will introduce you to Apache Kafka without assuming you’ve heard anything about the Apache development project, the problems that Kafka was designed to solve or the role it currently plays in modern enterprise data architectures.
