This hands-on session discusses best practices for using PyTorch and Alluxio during model training on AWS. Shawn and Lu provide a step-by-step demonstration of how to use Alluxio on EKS as a distributed cache to accelerate computer vision model training jobs that read datasets from S3. This architecture significantly improves the utilization of GPUs from 30% to 90%+, archives ~5x faster training, and lower cloud storage costs.

Pratik Mishra delivered insights on architecting scalable, deployable, and resilient AI infrastructure at scale. His discussion on fault tolerance, checkpoint optimization, and the democratization of AI compute through AMD's open ecosystem resonated strongly with the challenges teams face in production ML deployments.
In this talk, Bin Fan, VP of Technology at Alluxio, presents on building tiered architectures that bring sub-millisecond latency to S3-based workloads. The comparison showing Alluxio's 45x performance improvement over S3 Standard and 5x over S3 Express One Zone demonstrated the critical role the performance & caching layer plays in modern AI infrastructure.
In this talk, Greg Lindstrom shared how Blackout Power Trading achieved double-digit millisecond offline feature store performance using Alluxio, a game-changer for real-time power trading where every millisecond counts. The 60x latency reduction for inference queries was particularly impressive.
