SUMMARY:SC20 Meeting (Session 1): Storage for AI
DESCRIPTION:The Spectrum Scale user group meets annually at the SC conference. For 2020 the user group will be split into two 90 minute digital sessions. The second session will be on Wednesday Nov 18th\, 11 am EST\n>> Session 2: What is new in Spectrum Scale 5.1? << \nThis session will focus on Storage for AI including a customer case study and a deep dive in new Spectrum Scale features which optimize the analysis of datasets stored in a data lake. Live Q&A will be available.\nThe session will be hosted by IBM and moderated by the user group.\n>> Please register here to join the session. << \nContinental: Deep Thought – An AI Project for Autonomous Driving Development \nContinental\, a tier-1 automotive supplier\, runs a new high-performance cluster based on NVIDIA DGX\, IBM Spectrum Scale and IBM ESS to boost autonomous driving development performance. Continental uses this system for deep learning\, simulation\, virtual data generation and related workloads. The new cluster reduces development time from weeks to hours. Speakers from Continental and the business partner SVA will present business requirements and derived workloads\, the Spectrum and ESS implementation\, and first operational experience. \nhttps://www.continental.com/en-us/press-/press-releases/continental-supercomputer-nvidia-228624 \nData Accelerator for AI and Analytics (DAAA) \nThis talk focuses on the need of data orchestration in enterprise data pipelines. It provides details about data orchestration and how to address typical challenges that customers face when dealing with large and ever-growing amounts of data for data analytics. While the amount of data increases steadily\, AI workloads need to speed up in order to be able to deliver insights and business value in a timely manner. IBM addresses these requirements with the Data Accelerator for AI and Analytics (DAAA)\, an expertly engineered solution based on new features delivered with Spectrum Scale 5.1. The session will include a demo of a complex proof-of-concept and present the key learnings and results.

Any feedback on pros/cons for its usefulness at Continental?\nWe did not have a chance to look into Spectrum Discover. \nRelated material\n\nContinental: Automotive supercomputer\nContinental press release\n\nUser Group Host: Bill Anderson\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n\n	Speaker NamePhotoBio\n\n\n\n\n	David EnenkelDavid Enenkel is the Head of IT Operations at Continental - ADC GmbH. He has over 20 years of IT-Infrastructure experience and moved into the area of ADAS 2\,5 years ago. He and his team are supporting the ADC engineers to find and establish feasible IT solutions/services for the specific ADAS demands as well as operating the platforms and data centers. He led the Supercomputer project as the IT project manager and is happy to give an insight into all ups and downs building up such an environment.\n\n\n	Viktor PálViktor Pál is working as a Deep Learning Infrastructure Architect at Continental and is currently also acting as Technical Team Lead. He has more than 14 years of IT Infrastructure experience and started working at Continental two years ago. Viktor and his team are supporting AI development by designing\, implementing and operating the environment that enables Deep Learning at Continental. He contributed to the Supercomputer project as a Solution Architect and he will talk about the challenges of AI Infrastructure as Code.\n\n\n	Jochen ZellerJochen is IT Architect at www.sva.de. He has more than 20 years of IT experience\, is part of the SVA IT Architects team and technical leader of the Spectrum Scale team. His Spectrum Scale and infrastructure projects span various industries and fields\, such as HPC\, health care\, autonomous driving\, banking\, insurance\, etc. When he is not working with his customers\, he sits in his glider and flies away - at least in summer.
