Description: Anaconda Alternatives: How to setup python based ML software stacks without 'conda
Join us for our June event, where Oliver Cairncross will share their journey from 'conda to pip for ML.
"It can be difficult (or impossible) to create ML environments using Anaconda if package dependencies don't match infrastructure. When base libraries and drivers can't be updated or installed ad hoc to match a multitude of package requirements (i.e., HPC) things get painful. I've started to build these packages using pip to match given infrastructure and created wheels (pre built binaries) that could potentially be used by end users. I’ve only used this for my own work–no testing with general users. Nevertheless, I’m happy to discuss what I’ve covered so far; which includes:
Cuda and ROCm (AMD) drivers;
NCCL (Nvidia) and RCCL (AMD) GPU communication libraries;
Various MPI flavors;
The Gloo communication library; and
The Tensorflow and Horovod frameworks."

Who are the AusNZ HPC Admins for Machine Learning?
We're a group of HPC system administrators and eResearch support staff who want to learn how we can support the growing community of researchers using Machine Learning techniques. We're aiming to meet monthly, with mixes of workshops, presentations, rant sessions, and more!
If that sounds like you...
Come along to our events to learn more;
Come hang out with us in the #hpc-admins-4-ml channel in the ML4AU Slack space;
Or propose a talk/workshop/event of your own that you'd like to run by contacting me, Kiowa Scott-Hurley (kscotthurley@gmail.com)
