Graal and Truffle: Modularity and Separation of Concerns as Cornerstones for ...Thomas Wuerthinger
Multi-language runtimes providing simultaneously high performance for several programming languages still remain an illusion. Industrial-strength managed language runtimes are built with a focus on one language (e.g., Java or C#). Other languages may compile to the bytecode formats of those managed language runtimes. However, the performance characteristics of the bytecode generation approach are often lagging behind compared to language runtimes specialized for a specific language. The performance of JavaScript is for example still orders of magnitude better on specialized runtimes (e.g., V8 or SpiderMonkey).
We present a solution to this problem by providing guest languages with a new way of interfacing with the host runtime. The semantics of the guest language is communicated to the host runtime not via generating bytecodes, but via an interpreter written in the host language. This gives guest languages a simple way to express the semantics of their operations including language-specific mechanisms for collecting profiling feedback. The efficient machine code is derived from the interpreter via automatic partial evaluation. The main components reused from the underlying runtime are the compiler and the garbage collector. They are both agnostic to the executed guest languages.
The host compiler derives the optimized machine code for hot parts of the guest language application via partial evaluation of the guest language interpreter. The interpreter definition can guide the host compiler to generate deoptimization points, i.e., exits from the compiled code. This allows guest language operations to use speculations: An operation could for example speculate that the type of an incoming parameter is constant. Furthermore, the guest language interpreter can use global assumptions about the system state that are registered with the compiled code. Finally, part of the interpreter's code can be excluded from the partial evaluation and remain shared across the system. This is useful for avoiding code explosion and appropriate for infrequently executed paths of an operation. These basic mechanisms are provided by the underlying language-agnostic host runtime and allow separation of concerns between guest and host runtime.
We implemented Truffle, the guest language runtime framework, on top of the Graal compiler and the HotSpot virtual machine. So far, there are prototypes for C, J, Python, JavaScript, R, Ruby, and Smalltalk running on top of the Truffle framework. The prototypes are still incomplete with respect to language semantics. However, most of them can run non-trivial benchmarks to demonstrate the core promise of the Truffle system: Multiple languages within one runtime system at competitive performance.
Measuring the time spent on small individual fractions of program code is a common technique for analysing performance behavior and detecting performance bottlenecks. The benefits of the approach include a detailed individual attribution of performance and understandable feedback loops when experimenting with different code versions. There are however severe pitfalls when following this approach that can lead to vastly misleading results. Modern dynamic compilers use complex optimisation techniques that take a large part of the program into account. There can be therefore unexpected side-effects when combining different code snippets or even when running a presumably unrelated part of the code. This talk will present performance paradoxes with examples from the domain of dynamic compilation of Java programs. Furthermore, it will discuss an alternative approach to modelling code performance characteristics that takes the challenges of complex optimising compilers into account.

End to end Machine Learning using Kubeflow - Build, Train, Deploy and ManageAnimesh Singh
With the breadth of sheer functionalities which need to be addressed in the Machine Learning world around building, training, serving and managing models, getting it done in a consistent, composable, portable, and scalable manner is hard. The Kubernetes framework is well suited to address these issues, which is why it's a great foundation for deploying ML workloads. Kubeflow is designed to take advantage of these benefits. In this talk, we are going to address how to make it easy for everyone to develop, deploy, and manage portable, scalable ML everywhere and support the full lifecycle Machine Learning using open source technologies like Kubeflow, Tensorflow, PyTorch,Tekton, Knative, Istio and others. We are going to discuss how to enable distributed training of models, model serving, canary rollouts, drift detection, model explainability, metadata management, pipelines and others. Additionally we will discuss Watson productization in progress based on Kubeflow Pipelines and Tekton, and point to Kubeflow Dojo materials and follow-on workshops.
A Library for Emerging High-Performance Computing ClustersIntel® Software
Deployed next-generation architectures and systems are characterized by high concurrency, low memory per core, and multilevels of hierarchy and heterogeneity. These characteristics bring out new challenges in energy efficiency, fault-tolerance, and scalability. Next-generation programming models and their associated middleware and runtimes have a responsibility to tackle these challenges.
This talk focuses on challenges and opportunities in designing efficient runtimes using a formula (MPI+X) to accelerate applications for emerging high-performance computing (HPC) systems with millions of processors and featuring next-generation interconnects. Energy-aware designs and codesign schemes for such environments are also emphasized. View features and sample performance numbers from the MVAPICH2 libraries.

In this presentation, we focus on an alternative approach that uses nodes that contain Intel® Xeon® processors and Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors. Programming models and the development tools are identical for these resources, greatly simplifying development. We discuss how the same models for vectorization and threading can be used across these compute resources to create software that performs well on them. We further propose an extension to the Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) flow graph interface that enables intra-node distributed memory programming, simplifying communication, and load balancing between the processors and coprocessors. Finally, we validate this approach by presenting a benchmark of a risk analysis implementation that achieves record-setting performance.

Hyper-Parameter Tuning Across the Entire AI Pipeline GPU Tech Conference San ...Chris Fregly
Chris Fregly, Founder @ PipelineAI, will walk you through a real-world, complete end-to-end Pipeline-optimization example. We highlight hyper-parameters - and model pipeline phases - that have never been exposed until now.
While most Hyperparameter Optimizers stop at the training phase (ie. learning rate, tree depth, ec2 instance type, etc), we extend model validation and tuning into a new post-training optimization phase including 8-bit reduced precision weight quantization and neural network layer fusing - among many other framework and hardware-specific optimizations.
Next, we introduce hyperparameters at the prediction phase including request-batch sizing and chipset (CPU v. GPU v. TPU).
Lastly, we determine a PipelineAI Efficiency Score of our overall Pipeline including Cost, Accuracy, and Time. We show techniques to maximize this PipelineAI Efficiency Score using our massive PipelineDB along with the Pipeline-wide hyper-parameter tuning techniques mentioned in this talk.

PipelineAI Continuous Machine Learning and AI - Rework Deep Learning Summit -...Chris Fregly
Traditional machine learning pipelines end with life-less models sitting on disk in the research lab. These traditional models are typically trained on stale, offline, historical batch data. Static models and stale data are not sufficient to power today's modern, AI-first Enterprises that require continuous model training, continuous model optimizations, and lightning-fast model experiments directly in production. Through a series of open source, hands-on demos and exercises, we will use PipelineAI to breathe life into these models using 4 new techniques that we’ve pioneered:
* Continuous Validation (V)
* Continuous Optimizing (O)
* Continuous Training (T)
* Continuous Explainability (E).
The Continuous "VOTE" techniques has proven to maximize pipeline efficiency, minimize pipeline costs, and increase pipeline insight at every stage from continuous model training (offline) to live model serving (online.)
Attendees will learn to create continuous machine learning pipelines in production with PipelineAI, TensorFlow, and Kafka.

The main body of work related to supporting dynamic languages on the JVM at Oracle today is done within the Nashorn project. While on the surface it looks like we're busy creating a JavaScript runtime, in reality JavaScript is only the beginning, and not the ultimate goal. Nashorn has served as the proving ground for new approaches for implementing a dynamic language on top of the JVM, and we're eager to – once solidified – crystallize these into a reusable dynamic language implementer's toolkit. We have faced challenges of optimally mapping JavaScript local variables to JVM types (or: "hey, there's a static type inference algorithm in your dynamic language compiler"), doing liveness analysis, cutting up methods too large to fit into a single JVM method, efficiently representing large array and object literals in compiled code, creating a system for on-demand compilation of several type-specialized variants of the same function, and more. Along the way, we have reached the limits of our initial internal representation (fun fact: you can't do liveness analysis on an AST. We learned it the hard way.) and started sketching up an intermediate representation that would be easy to emit from a dynamic language compiler, and that could be taken over by a toolchain to perform the operations described above then on it and finally output standard Java bytecode for JIT to take over. Elevator pitch: like LLVM, but for dynamic languages on the JVM.

Lastly, we determine a PipelineAI Efficiency Score of our overall Pipeline including Cost, Accuracy, and Time. We show techniques to maximize this PipelineAI Efficiency Score using our massive PipelineDB along with the Pipeline-wide hyper-parameter tuning techniques mentioned in this talk.

PipelineAI Continuous Machine Learning and AI - Rework Deep Learning Summit -...Chris Fregly
Traditional machine learning pipelines end with life-less models sitting on disk in the research lab. These traditional models are typically trained on stale, offline, historical batch data. Static models and stale data are not sufficient to power today's modern, AI-first Enterprises that require continuous model training, continuous model optimizations, and lightning-fast model experiments directly in production. Through a series of open source, hands-on demos and exercises, we will use PipelineAI to breathe life into these models using 4 new techniques that we’ve pioneered:
* Continuous Validation (V)
* Continuous Optimizing (O)
* Continuous Training (T)
* Continuous Explainability (E).
The Continuous "VOTE" techniques has proven to maximize pipeline efficiency, minimize pipeline costs, and increase pipeline insight at every stage from continuous model training (offline) to live model serving (online.)
Attendees will learn to create continuous machine learning pipelines in production with PipelineAI, TensorFlow, and Kafka.

The main body of work related to supporting dynamic languages on the JVM at Oracle today is done within the Nashorn project. While on the surface it looks like we're busy creating a JavaScript runtime, in reality JavaScript is only the beginning, and not the ultimate goal. Nashorn has served as the proving ground for new approaches for implementing a dynamic language on top of the JVM, and we're eager to – once solidified – crystallize these into a reusable dynamic language implementer's toolkit. We have faced challenges of optimally mapping JavaScript local variables to JVM types (or: "hey, there's a static type inference algorithm in your dynamic language compiler"), doing liveness analysis, cutting up methods too large to fit into a single JVM method, efficiently representing large array and object literals in compiled code, creating a system for on-demand compilation of several type-specialized variants of the same function, and more. Along the way, we have reached the limits of our initial internal representation (fun fact: you can't do liveness analysis on an AST. We learned it the hard way.) and started sketching up an intermediate representation that would be easy to emit from a dynamic language compiler, and that could be taken over by a toolchain to perform the operations described above then on it and finally output standard Java bytecode for JIT to take over. Elevator pitch: like LLVM, but for dynamic languages on the JVM.

Scaling AI in production using PyTorchgeetachauhan
Slides from my talk at MLOps World' 21
Deploying AI models in production and scaling the ML services is still a big challenge. In this talk we will cover details of how to deploy your AI models, best practices for the deployment scenarios, and techniques for performance optimization and scaling the ML services. Come join us to learn how you can jumpstart the journey of taking your PyTorch models from Research to production.
OS for AI: Elastic Microservices & the Next Gen of MLNordic APIs
AI has been a hot topic lately, with advances being made constantly in what is possible, there has not been as much discussion of the infrastructure and scaling challenges that come with it. How do you support dozens of different languages and frameworks, and make them interoperate invisibly? How do you scale to run abstract code from thousands of different developers, simultaneously and elastically, while maintaining less than 15ms of overhead?
At Algorithmia, we’ve built, deployed, and scaled thousands of algorithms and machine learning models, using every kind of framework (from scikit-learn to tensorflow). We’ve seen many of the challenges faced in this area, and in this talk I’ll share some insights into the problems you’re likely to face, and how to approach solving them.
In brief, we’ll examine the need for, and implementations of, a complete “Operating System for AI” – a common interface for different algorithms to be used and combined, and a general architecture for serverless machine learning which is discoverable, versioned, scalable and sharable.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

The Computation Graph
Deep Learning libraries usually have 2 interpreters:
1. Host language (eg Python)
2. The computation graph (eg C++ backbone)
Can then be optimized and run in parallel on a GPU
55. 55
Dynamic Computation Graph
“In TensorFlow you define graph statically before a model can run.
Communication with the outer world is performed via tf.Session
object and tf.Placeholder which will be substituted by external data at
runtime. When you write in TensorFlow sometimes you feel that your
model is behind a brick wall with several tiny holes to communicate
over.
In PyTorch things are more imperative and dynamic: you can define,
change and execute nodes as you go, no special session interfaces
or placeholders. Overall, the framework is more tightly integrated
with Python language and feels more native most of the times.“

Saving and restoring models
Saving and Loading models is waaaay less of a hassle compared to TF

One of PyTorch’s biggest strengths is its first-class Python integration, imperative style, simplicity of
the API and options. These are aspects that make PyTorch good for research and hackability.
One of its biggest downsides has been production-support. What we mean by production-support is
the countless things one has to do to models to run them efficiently at massive scale:
● exporting to C++-only runtimes for use in larger projects
● optimizing mobile systems on iPhone, Android, Qualcomm and other systems
● using more efficient data layouts and performing kernel fusion to do faster inference
(saving 10% of speed or memory at scale is a big win)
● quantized inference (such as 8-bit inference)
