Deep learning is an exciting area of machine learning using simulated neural networks to enable accurate pattern recognition of complex real-world patterns by computers. These new levels of innovation have applicability across nearly every industry vertical. Some of the early adopters include advanced research, precision medicine, high tech manufacturing, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving. The demand for even greater deep learning performance is driving the development of advanced deep learning software frameworks, massively parallel compute in the form of Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) for embarrassingly parallel model training, and scale-out file systems to support the concurrency and Petabyte scale of the unstructured image and video data sets.
This document demonstrates how the Isilon F800 and NVIDIA GPUs along with PowerEdge C4140 Servers can be used to architect artificial intelligence solutions that accelerate and scale deep learning workloads. The results of multiple industry-standard image classification benchmarks using TensorFlow are included.
