When training models on ultra-large datasets, one of the biggest challenges is low GPU utilization. These powerful processors are often underutilized due to inefficient I/O and data access. This mismatch between computation and storage leads to wasted GPU resources, low performance, and high cloud storage costs. The rise of generative AI and GPU scarcity is only making this problem worse.
In this webinar, Tarik and Beinan discuss strategies for transforming idle GPUs into optimal powerhouses. They will focus on cost-effective management of ultra-large datasets for AI and analytics.
What you will learn:
- The challenges of I/O stalls leading to low GPU utilization for model training
- High-performance, high-throughput data access (I/O) strategies
- The benefits of using an on-demand data access layer over your storage
- How Uber addresses managing ultra-large datasets using high-density storage and caching

In this talk, Ojus Save walks you through a demo of how to build AI applications on Zoom. This demo shows you an AI agent that receives transcript data from RTMS and then decides if it has to create action items based on the transcripts that are received.
In this talk, Sandeep Joshi, , Senior Manager at NVIDIA, shares how to accelerate the data access between GPU and storage for AI. Sandeep will dive into two options: CPU- initiated GPUDirect Storage and GPU-initiated SCADA.
Bin Fan, VP of Technology at Alluxio, introduces how Alluxio, a software layer transparently sits between application and S3 (or other object stores), provides sub-ms time to first byte (TTFB) solution, with up to 45x lower latency.
