Optimize, Don’t Overspend: Data Caching Strategy for AI Workloads
September 10, 2024
By 
Jingwen Ouyang

As machine learning and deep learning models grow in complexity, AI platform engineers and ML engineers face significant challenges with slow data loading and GPU utilization, often leading to costly investments in high-performance computing (HPC) storage. However, this approach can result in overspending without addressing the core issues of data bottlenecks and infrastructure complexity.

A better approach is adding a data caching layer between compute and storage, like Alluxio, which offers a cost-effective alternative through its innovative data caching strategy. In this webinar, Jingwen will explore how Alluxio's caching solutions optimize AI workloads for performance, user experience and cost-effectiveness.

What you will learn:

  • The I/O bottlenecks that slow down data loading in model training
  • How Alluxio's data caching strategy optimizes I/O performance for training and GPU utilization, and significantly reduces cloud API costs
  • The architecture and key capabilities of Alluxio
  • Using Rapid Alluxio Deployer to install Alluxio and run benchmarks in AWS in just 30 minutes
