RAPIDSFire

We sit down and talk with Allan Enemark, data viz lead for RAPIDS and Bryan Van de Ven, Senior Engineer and co-creator of Bokeh to talk about what GPUs are doing for the visualization of data sets across many different tools, and what the future holds for showing your audience what the data is saying.

Join me as I sit down with Felipe Aramburu and William Malpica as we talk about BlazingSQL's GPU-accelerated SQL queries, start-up life, the tech talent in Peru, things we used to hate about SQL and a lot more. 

Give BlazingSQL a try at app.blazingsql.com and once you're convinced, and go here beta.blazingsql.com for their beta of the paid version that will give you access to very large GPU clusters. Thanks! 

In the first bonus episode of RAPIDSFire, I sit down with Rachel Allen, who holds a PhD in Neuroscience. We talk about how neural net models relate to and differ from real brains, ethical issues around conscience machines and their training, and what steps might be taken to get closer to true thinking machines. I had a lot of fun recording this, and I hope you enjoy it!

Join me as I talk with Rachel Allen and Bartley Richardson about applying data science to cybersecurity with GPUs and RAPIDS. We'll also talk in-depth about an amazing extension of the BERT transformer model: CyBERT, the pre-built GPU pipelines in CLX, a super fast GPU tokenizer, and what to expect from them next.

Welcome to the first episode of RAPIDSFire! My rotating cohost this week is Josh Patterson, Senior Director of Engineering at NVIDIA, and Keith Kraus, Systems Software Senior Manager at NVIDIA. These two gentlemen were driving forces behind RAPIDS from the very start, and this is an illuminating talk about GPU data science, open source software, and the past, present, and future of RAPIDS.
