As a PC enthusiast, I love pitting hardware solutions against each other to determine their relative performance when completing a particular task.  This process is also known as “Benchmarking.”  Benchmarking results are usually considered the best tool to evaluate the merits of competing systems when making a purchase decision.

In this 3-part blog series, we’ll discuss how to build a system, with an emphasis on benchmarking GPU performance for Deep Learning using Ubuntu 18.04, NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC) and TensorFlow.

According to Data Science Central, a leading online resource for data practitioners, forecasts predict the big data market will approach $203 billion by 2020. Data science is powering the engine of modern enterprise – every industry from retail to financial services to healthcare is deriving insight from data to improve competitiveness and operational efficiency. Retailers are improving forecasting to reduce the cost of excess inventory. Financial services institutions are detecting fraudulent transactions. Healthcare providers are predicting the risk of disease more quickly. Even modest improvements in the accuracy of predictive machine learning models can translate into billions on the bottom line. The NVIDIA accelerated Data Science Workstation (DWS) solution with RAPIDS enables enterprises and data scientists to tap into GPU-accelerated machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) with faster model iteration, better prediction accuracy, and lowest data science total cost of ownership (TCO).

Excitement and anticipation were everywhere at the NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference (GTC) 2019.  GTC’s speaker roster reads like a who’s who in AI and deep learning.  The expectation was high for NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to announce new industry-disruptive technologies during his keynote address.  Last year it was the launch of NVIDIA RTX real-time ray tracing technology. This year Jensen took it a step further with the introduction of NVIDIA- RTX-powered Data Science Workstations and expanded NVIDIA RTX Server offerings.

The world is driven by innovation, and NVIDIA remains one of the largest contributors to the evolution of modern technology. With the advent of Industry 4.0, a world of possibilities never before considered becomes reality. Autonomous drones equipped with Deep Learning-enabled GPUs working alongside humans, “aware” of their surroundings. Vast amounts of data interpreted and quickly dissected to reach novel conclusions never before realized or inferred by human analysts that used to take days, months, or even years, saving time and resources, while delivering information vital to information age enterprises. Among these many advancements, the possibilities NVIDIA and Industry 4.0 bring to Product Design will revolutionize the future.

There was a lot of excitement in NVIDIA’s booth at Autodesk University in LA this week with the launch of the Quadro RTX 4000 graphics board.  Rounding out the Quadro RTX line-up, the Quadro RTX 4000 is NVIDIA’s first mid-range, single-slot professional GPU powered by the NVIDIA Turing architecture and the NVIDIA RTX platform.

With the introduction of the Quadro RTX 4000, NVIDIA is bringing the power of realtime photorealistic ray tracing rendering to a wider range of architects, artists, developers, designers and engineers worldwide. Visitors to the NVIDIA booth at AU were able to see first hand the incredible application performance of the Quadro RTX 4000 as they experienced a realtime, immersive BIM walkthrough. By deploying the Enscape3D plugin and putting on an HMD, they could step inside a full-scale Autodesk Revit model and make changes in realtime.
