Machine learning mega-benchmark: GPU providers (part 2)

Shiva Manne Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Open Source Leave a Comment

We had recently published a large-scale machine learning benchmark using word2vec, comparing several popular hardware providers and ML frameworks in pragmatic aspects such as their cost, ease of use, stability, scalability and performance. Since that benchmark only looked at the CPUs, we also ran an analogous ML benchmark focused on GPUs.

Word2Vec became so popular mainly thanks to huge improvements in training speed producing high-quality words vectors of much higher dimensionality compared to then widely used neural network language models. Word2Vec is an unsupervised method that can process potentially huge amounts of data without the need for manual labeling. There is really no limit to size of a dataset that can …
