Overview of this book

This book, written by an HPC expert with over 25 years of experience, guides you through enhancing model training performance using PyTorch. Here you’ll learn how model complexity impacts training time and discover performance tuning levels to expedite the process, as well as utilize PyTorch features, specialized libraries, and efficient data pipelines to optimize training on CPUs and accelerators. You’ll also reduce model complexity, adopt mixed precision, and harness the power of multicore systems and multi-GPU environments for distributed training. By the end, you'll be equipped with techniques and strategies to speed up training and focus on building stunning models.
