Overview
Organizations analyze large amounts of tabular data to uncover insights, improve products and services, and achieve efficiency. For those enterprises that want to thrive in a rapidly changing environment, the ability to process big data quickly can often create the competitive edge needed to succeed. Because speed is of such critical importance, accelerating the data processing pipeline—and doing it in a way that maximizes hardware utility—can profoundly impact the productivity and outcomes of data science efforts.
This Deep Learning Institute (DLI) workshop will share how to create an end-to-end hardware-accelerated machine learning pipeline for large datasets. You’ll utilize NVIDIA RAPIDS™ and Dask to scale your data science workloads. This workshop will illustrate how the same process can be applied to other machine learning use cases. You’ll then learn how to speed up data engineering by avoiding hidden slowdowns and reduce model development time by maximizing hardware utility. Throughout the development process, you’ll use diagnostic tools to identify delays and learn to mitigate common pitfalls.
Skills Gained
- Develop and deploy an accelerated end-to-end data processing pipeline for large datasets
- Scale data science workflows using distributed computing
- Perform DataFrame transformations that take advantage of hardware acceleration and avoid hidden slowdowns
- Enhance machine learning solutions through feature engineering and rapid experimentation
- Improve data processing pipeline performance by optimizing memory management and hardware utilization
Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of a standard data science workflow on tabular data.
- Knowledge of distributed computing using Dask. To gain an adequate understanding, we recommend the “Get Started” guide from Dask.
- Completion of the DLI’s "Fundamentals of Accelerated Data Science" course or an ability to manipulate data using cuDF and some experience building machine learning models using cuML.

FAQ
Does the course schedule include a Lunchbreak?
Classes typically include a 1-hour lunch break around midday. However, the exact break times and duration can vary depending on the specific class. Your instructor will provide detailed information at the start of the course.
What languages are used to deliver training?
Most courses are conducted in English, unless otherwise specified. Some courses will have the word "FRENCH" marked in red beside the scheduled date(s) indicating the language of instruction.
What does GTR stand for?
GTR stands for Guaranteed to Run; if you see a course with this status, it means this event is confirmed to run. View our GTR page to see our full list of Guaranteed to Run courses.

Does Ascendient Learning deliver group training?
Yes, we provide training for groups, individuals and private on sites. View our group training page for more information.
What does vendor-authorized training mean?
As a vendor-authorized training partner, we offer a curriculum that our partners have vetted. We use the same course materials and facilitate the same labs as our vendor-delivered training. These courses are considered the gold standard and, as such, are priced accordingly.
Is the training too basic, or will you go deep into technology?
It depends on your requirements, your role in your company, and your depth of knowledge. The good news about many of our learning paths, you can start from the fundamentals to highly specialized training.
How up-to-date are your courses and support materials?
We continuously work with our vendors to evaluate and refresh course material to reflect the latest training courses and best practices.
Are your instructors seasoned trainers who have deep knowledge of the training topic?
Ascendient Learning instructors have an average of 27 years of practical IT experience and have also served as consultants for an average of 15 years. To stay current, instructors spend at least 25 percent of their time learning new, emerging technologies and courses.
Do you provide hands-on training and exercises in an actual lab environment?
Lab access is dependent on the vendor and the type of training you sign up for. However, many of our top vendors will provide lab access to students to test and practice. The course description will specify lab access.
Will you customize the training for our company’s specific needs and goals?
We will work with you to identify training needs and areas of growth. We offer a variety of training methods, such as private group training, on-site of your choice, and virtually. We provide courses and certifications that are aligned with your business goals.
How do I get started with certification?
Getting started on a certification pathway depends on your goals and the vendor you choose to get certified in. Many vendors offer entry-level IT certification to advanced IT certification that can boost your career. To get access to certification vouchers and discounts, please contact info@ascendientlearning.com.
Will I get access to content after I complete a course?
You will get access to the PDF of course books and guides, but access to the recording and slides will depend on the vendor and type of training you receive.

Reviews
Sean is the very good instructor. I would like to take his class again in the future.
I was very satisfied about how the course was organized. Sean Did a very good work
Exit certified was great as it is very in depth and hands on learning which made it very easy to learn this type of work.
I like their training. A lot of material covered. The labs are very good. l learned a lot.
this class was informative, made me think about certifying for the suse manager cert.
