GoldMiner: Elastic Scaling of Training Data Pre-Processing Pipelines for Deep Learning
Summary: GoldMiner decouples data pre-processing from model training with stateless data workers that elastically pool cluster resources. By automatically extracting stateless pre-processing from pipelines, it scales across nodes, delivering up to 12.1x faster jobs and up to 2.5x better GPU utilization in large clusters.
