GP-ENGINE - Deploying and Scaling on NRP - GPN Annual Meeting 2025

This workshop will give researchers a hands-on introduction to leveraging the large distributed computing resources available through the National Research Platform (NRP). Researchers will learn how to migrate a AI/ML workflow from their local computer or Swan to the NRP. By accessing Nautilus, you can gain access to a vast array of cutting-edge GPUs, ideal for facilitating AI research and accelerating your research.

When: June 3rd, 10:15 am to 12:15 pm

Learning Objectives:

  • Kubernetes Architecture and Concepts
  • Hands-on with Nautilus HyperCluster
  • Deploying Pods and Jobs in Kubernetes using Nautilus
  • Deploying Scikit Learn ML Jobs to Kubernetes
  • Deploying GPU Jobs to Kubernetes for Training Computer Vision Models
  • Scaling Computer Vision Models on Kubernetes with Job Automation

These sessions will be delivered in an in-person format.
