Featured Sessions
Three Problems, Three Myths, Three Realities
Speaker:Jack Norris,Senior Vice President Data & Applications, MapR
This session explores the hottest problems customers are struggling to sort out given the advent of many new breakthrough technological tools. It also addresses conventional wisdom & myths & highlights the reality around three hot issues with best practice guidance & recommendations for each.
Can Video Push Pub/Sub Streaming to the Brink?
Assessing the practicality of distributed streams for delivering video to GPUs for real-time face recognition.
Speaker:Ian Downard, Senior Technical Engineer at MapR Technologies
Deep learning with GPUs is often used to accelerate model development & performance in production. However, the challenge is feeding data to GPUs as fast as their ability to process it. Integrating GPUs natively into a data platform creates a breakthrough that allows for ingestion of high-quality data into GPUs. This presentation busts the myths that bringing data to GPUs is hard & requires specialized data clusters. The demo application for real-time face detection from live video feeds builds on asound but simple GPU based-architectureand uses the same platform that is used for your data analytics.
Putting it into Action: A Slightly More Technical Look at Speeding Time to Value
Speaker: Tom Fisher, Executive Vice President & Chief Technology Officer, MapR
Myth: Only big teams with lots of funding have the advantage of using all this new tech.
This session provides a deeper look at how to put ideas into action & discusses selecting the right first use cases; architectural, design, & implementation best practices; & driving successful change for the big data journey.
Title: Expert Panel
Description: Turn ideas from the day into your own practical course of action. This panel of experts applies the insights from the day's sessions to real-world challenges by engaging the audience in a spirited discussion.
