AI Training Series - Introduction to the LRZ AI Systems
This course is part of the "LRZ AI Training Series", a series of courses aiming at the needs and expectations of data analytics, big data & AI users at LRZ. While tailored to LRZ users, the course is also open to other interested academic participants from Germany.
Contents
The aim of this course is to give an overview of the LRZ AI Systems, and provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to efficiently utilise them. The course consists of mini lectures, demos and hands on sessions (breaks included).
By participating in this lecture, you will be able to:
- Understand the resources that the LRZ AI System provides
- How to allocate resources on the LRZ AI System and provision them with the needed software stack
- How to interactively work with the LRZ AI Systems via the terminal (also Jupyter Notebooks for single GPU workload)
Upon completion, you will be able to effectively use the LRZ AI Systems to run Deep Learning workflows.
Prerequisites
- AI Training Series: Orientation Session (or comparable previous knowledge)
- AI Training Series: Introduction to Container Technology & Application to AI at LRZ (or comparable previous knowledge)
