Seminar Overview
This is a rebroadcast of our highly rated session originally presented during our live event on September 16. While the presentation portion is pre-recorded, a short live Q&A segment will be available during the session.
In this session, Fixstars engineers will introduce key concepts in AI performance engineering and demonstrate how to identify and fix inefficiencies across training and inference workflows. You’ll learn how to profile hardware usage, uncover bottlenecks, and apply optimizations that deliver measurable gains in speed and cost savings. The session will also share insights from our hands-on evaluation of the latest NVIDIA GPU (B200)—highlighting key considerations to unlock its full AI processing potential despite its hardware advantages over previous generations.
Through real-world case studies—including a 5x speedup in Llama-3 training and a 50% reduction in inference costs—you’ll see how organizations are using Fixstars AIBooster to improve system performance and ROI. A live demo and practical walkthrough will equip you with the tools to begin optimizing your own AI workloads right away.
