TorchTitan is a proof-of-concept for Large-scale LLM training using native PyTorch. It is a repo that showcases PyTorch's latest distributed training features in a clean, minimal codebase.
In this talk, Tianyu will share TorchTitan’s design and optimizations for the Llama 3.1 family of LLMs, spanning 8 billion to 405 billion parameters, and showcase its performance, composability, and scalability.
In this talk, Sandeep Manchem discussed big data and AI, covering typical platform architecture and data challenges. We had engaging discussions about ensuring data safety and compliance in Big Data and AI applications.
As large-scale machine learning becomes increasingly GPU-centric, modern high-performance hardware like NVMe storage and RDMA networks (InfiniBand or specialized NICs) are becoming more widespread. To fully leverage these resources, it’s crucial to build a balanced architecture that avoids GPU underutilization. In this talk, we will explore various strategies to address this challenge by effectively utilizing these advanced hardware components. Specifically, we will present experimental results from building a Kubernetes-native distributed caching layer, utilizing NVMe storage and high-speed RDMA networks to optimize data access for PyTorch training.

Enterprises everywhere are racing to build the optimal analytics stack for creating repeatable success with predictive analytics, machine learning, and data applications. Cloud data platforms like data warehouses and data lakes are foundational elements of these software stacks and their associated data pipelines. But existing SQL query methods against these data platforms have repeatedly demonstrated disappointing performance and scaling due to poor concurrency.
In this presentation, we will discuss the use of the intelligent precomputation capabilities of Kyligence Cloud as a means of delivering on the promise of pervasive analytics at scale with massive concurrency and sub-second query latencies on large datasets in the cloud.
Kyligence, with our partner Alluxio, sits between the data platform and the processing layer. Kyligence Cloud delivers precomputed datasets for OLAP queries, BI dashboards, and machine learning applications.
Data and Machine Learning (ML) technologies are now widespread and adopted by literally all industries. Although recent advancements in the field have reached an unthinkable level of maturity, many organizations still struggle with turning these advances into tangible profits. Unfortunately, many ML projects get stuck in a proof-of-concept stage without ever reaching customers and generating revenue. In order to effectively adopt ML technologies, enterprises need to build the right business cases as well as to be ready to face the inevitable technical challenges. In this talk, we will share some common pitfalls, lessons learned, and engineering practices, faced while building customer-facing enterprise ML products. In particular, we will focus on the engineering that delivers real-time audience insights everyday to thousands of marketers via the Helixa’s market research platform.
During the talk you will learn:
- An overview of the Helixa ML end-to-end system
- Useful engineering practices and recommended tools (PyData stack, AWS, Alluxio, scikit-learn, tensorflow, mlflow, jupyter, github, docker, Spark, to name a few..)
- The R&D workflow and how it integrates with the production system
- Infrastructure considerations for scalable and cheap deployment, monitoring, and alerting
- How to leverage modern cloud serverless architectures for data and machine learning applications
Unisound focuses on Artificial Intelligence services for the Internet of Things. It is an artificial intelligence company with completely independent intellectual property rights and the world’s top intelligent voice technology. Atlas is the Deep Learning platform within Unisound AI Labs, which provides deep learning pipeline support for hundreds of algorithm scientists. This talk shares three real business training scenarios that leverage Alluxio’s distributed caching capabilities and Fluid’s cloud native capabilities, and achieve significant training acceleration and solve platform IO bottlenecks. We hope that the practice of Alluxio & Fluid on Atlas platform will bring benefits to more companies and engineers.
Nowadays, cloud native environments have attracted lots of data-intensive applications deployed and ran on them, due to the efficient-to-deploy and easy-to-maintain advantages provided by cloud native platforms and frameworks such as Docker, Kubernetes. However, cloud native frameworks does not provide the data abstraction support to the applications natively. Therefore, we build Fluid project, which co-orchestrate data and containers together. We use Alluxio as the cache runtime inside Fluid to warm up hot data. In this report, we will introduce the design and effects of the Fluid project.

Today, many people run deep learning applications with training data from separate storage such as object storage or remote data centers. This presentation will demo the Intel Analytics Zoo + Alluxio stack, an architecture that enables high performance while keeping cost and resource efficiency balanced without network being I/O bottlenecked.
Intel Analytics Zoo is a unified data analytics and AI platform open-sourced by Intel. It seamlessly unites TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, Spark, Flink, and Ray programs into an integrated pipeline, which can transparently scale from a laptop to large clusters to process production big data. Alluxio, as an open-source data orchestration layer, accelerates data loading and processing in Analytics Zoo deep learning applications.
This talk, we will go over:
- What is Analytics Zoo and how it works
- How to run Analytics Zoo with Alluxio in deep learning applications
- Initial performance benchmark results using the Analytics Zoo + Alluxio stack
Dataproc is Google’s managed Hadoop and Spark platform. In this talk, we will showcase how to swiftly build a hybrid cloud data platform with Alluxio and Presto and migrate data seamlessly.
Data infrastructure on-premises is increasingly complex and cloud adoption is attractive for business agility. Operating a hybrid environment is an approach to start benefiting from cloud elasticity quickly without abandoning the infrastructure on-premises. In this session I will discuss the benefits of using Alluxio’s Data Orchestration Platform to dynamically burst Apache Spark and Presto workloads to Amazon EMR for best performance and agility.
Describe benefits and methods Alluxio enables secure data access in the Comcast’s dx hybrid data cloud.
- Review the data access challenges and tradeoffs in hybrid cloud
- Review our hybrid architecture and the important role Alluxio plays
- Provide performance metrics to highlight the benefits
Unicom’s traditional batch architecture consists mainly of IOE, Hive, and Greenplum systems. With the development of business, a large number of computing application modules based on diverse scenarios, chimney-like, decentralized applications have emerged. To solve the problem of resource fragmentation, we have introduced a unified computing platform for computing ecology with Spark and Alluxio as the core. Alluxio plays an important role in accelerating data processing and ensuring process stability.
This talk introduces T3Go’s solution in building an enterprise-level data lake based on Apache Hudi & Alluxio, and how to use Alluxio to accelerate the reading and writing of data on the data lake when compute and storage are segregated.
