Training PyTorch Models with Redshift Data

Redshift

Amazon Redshift is a popular data warehousing solution that can handle data on an exabytes scale. It is useful for processing real-time analytics, combining multiple data sources, log analysis, or more. Redshift uses parallel-processing and compression to decrease command execution time. This allows Redshift to perform operations on billions of rows at once. This also makes Redshift useful for storing and analyzing large quantities of data from logs or live feeds through a source such as Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose.

PyTorch Models

PyTorch is a machine learning framework based on the Torch library, used for applications such as computer vision and natural language processing. It was originally developed by Meta AI and now part of the Linux Foundation umbrella. PyTorch is designed to provide good flexibility and high speeds for deep neural network implementation. PyTorch uses dynamic computation graphs which makes it different from other deep learning frameworks. It has become a popular choice for deep learning tasks such as computer vision, natural language processing, and speech recognition. PyTorch has gained popularity for its simplicity, ease of use, dynamic computational graph, efficient memory usage, flexibility, speed, native ONNX model exports, which can be used to speed up inference. It also shares many commands with numpy which reduces the barrier to learning it.
With the growing popularity of both Redshift for storage and PyTorch models for AI deployments, it is unsurprising that many organizations are seeking to train PyTorch models using data in Redshift. Kaspian offers native connectors for this operation. Just register your Redshift datastore and link your model training job; Kaspian's autoscaling compute layer makes it easy to train and deploy PyTorch models using any data in your cloud with minimal setup or management.
