Exploring IBM's Z Deep Learning Compiler

(CI)

Stream: AI
Time: 14:15 - 15:00


Presentation

This is a technical deep dive into the capabilities of IBM's Z Deep Learning Compiler(zDLC). Along with a thorough overview of zDLC, I will also give an explanation of Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) and LLVM, which are two open source projects that serves as the backbone for zDLC. Would you like to have a further insight into what is being produced by the compiler? What about SIMD instructions and how we can further accelerate specific operations in a model using the IBM Telum's on-chip Integrated AI accelerator? Well the only way to find out, is by joining my session! Let's go exploring!
