In this session, we will discuss the challenges faced when applying machine learning to modelling complex physical systems. GPUs have proved to be an ideal computational platform for training and executing both deep and convolutional neural networks. With more and more GPUs are installed in HPC systems, scientific computing centres see growing machine learning workloads. Indeed, NVIDIA has invested in SaturnV, a large GPU-accelerated cluster, (#28 on the November 2016 Top500 list) to support internal machine learning projects. After a brief introduction to deep learning on GPUs, we will address a selection of open questions physicists may face when using deep learning for their work. Research is making progress towards answering these questions but there remains plenty to be done in the field by the deep learning and physics communities. |
