Data loading is a critical aspect of deep learning workflows, whether you’re focused on training or inference. However, it often presents a paradox: the need for a highly convenient solution that is simultaneously customizable. These two goals are notoriously difficult to reconcile. One of the traditional solutions to this problem is to scale out the processing and parallelize the user…

CUDA Graphs are a way to define and batch GPU operations as a graph rather than a sequence of stream launches. A CUDA Graph groups a set of CUDA kernels and other CUDA operations together and executes them with a specified dependency tree. It speeds up the workflow by combining the driver activities associated with CUDA kernel launches and CUDA API calls. It also enforces the dependencies with…

Machine Learning algorithms are beginning to revolutionize modern agriculture. Enabling farmers to combat pests and diseases in real time, the technology is improving crop production and profits, while reducing waste, greenhouse gas emissions, and pesticide use. Around 6% of the world’s CO2 emissions come from farming. And every year, up to 40% of crops are lost due to pests and disease.
