Re: Hybrid GPU CPU computation

2014-04-11 Thread Patrick Grinaway
I've actually done it using PySpark and python libraries which call cuda code, 
though I've never done it from scala directly. The only major challenge I've 
hit is assigning tasks to gpus on multiple gpu machines.

 Hi all,
 
 I'm just wondering if hybrid GPU/CPU computation is something that is 
 feasible with spark ? And what should be the best way to do it.
 
 
 Cheers,

 Happy to help with an NYC meet up (just emailed Andy). I recently moved to 
 VA, but am back in NYC quite often, and have been turning several 
 computational people at Columbia / NYU / Simons Foundation onto Spark; 
 there'd definitely be interest in those communities.

 Nicholas, I'm in Boston and would be interested in a Spark group. Not
 sure if you know this -- there was a meetup that never got off the
 ground. Anyway, I'd be +1 for attending. Not sure what is involved in
 organizing. Seems a shame that a city like Boston doesn't have one.

 We'd love to see a Spark user group in Los Angeles and connect with
 others working with it here.
 
 Ping me if you're in the LA area and use Spark at your company (

 Hi folks,
 
 We have seen a lot of community growth outside of the Bay Area and we
 are looking to help spur even more!
 
 For starters, the organizers of the Spark meetups here in the Bay Area
 want to help anybody that is interested in setting up a meetup in a new
 city.
 
 Some amazing Spark champions have stepped forward in Seattle,
 Vancouver, Boulder/Denver, and a few other areas already.
 
 Right now, we are looking to connect with you Spark enthusiasts in NYC
 about helping to run an inaugural Spark Meetup in your area.
 
 You can reply to me directly if you are interested and I can tell you
 about all of the resources we have to offer (speakers from the core
 community, a budget for food, help scheduling, etc.), and let's make 
 this
 happen!
 
 Andy
