AWS and NVIDIA Expand Deep Learning Partnership at GTC 2017

The first is an exciting new Volta-based GPU instance that we think will completely change the face of the AI developer world through a 3x speedup on LSTM training. Second, we are announcing plans to train 100,000 developers through the Deep Learning Institute (DLI) running on AWS. The third is the joint development of tools that enable large-scale deep learning for the broader developer community. AWS is also delivering sessions at GTC including using Apache MXNet training at scale on Amazon EC2 P2 instances and at the edge through the support of NVIDIA's Jetson TX2 platform. The Tesla V100, based on the Volta architecture and equipped with 640 Tensor Cores, provides breakthrough performance of 120 teraflops of mixed precision deep learning performance.
