Content: Learn how to set up your (preinstalled) software environment and overcome file limitations that can slow down your training speed. Grasp the technical capabilities of modern day CPUs and GPUs and how to use multiple CPUs or GPUs in a single training. Finally, discover how to find bottlenecks in your code through creating a (PyTorch) profile

Learning objectives: Enhance your deep learning efficiency by:

  • setting up a software environment,
  • optimising file I/O,
  • leveraging CPU/GPU capabilities,
  • profiling PyTorch, and
  • utilising parallel computing.

Target audience: Anyone who wants to learn and connect with fellow participants, experts from SURF, DSRI and RCS team

Language: English

Format: Training/Short Course

Location: This workshop is organised on location to be determined (inner city or Randwyck).

Prerequisites: Participants may only attend this training if they have completed the Introduction to Supercomputing course on Day 1 (28 October 2026).
