Accelerating data science with Apache Spark and GPUs

Apache Spark has always been very well known for distributing computation among multiple nodes using the assistance of partitions, and CPU cores have always performed processing within a single partition.  What’s less widely known is that it is possible to accelerate Spark with GPUs. Harnessing this power in the right situation brings imm

Experiment Tracking with MLFlow in Canonical’s Data Science Stack

Welcome back, data scientists! In my previous post, we explored how easy it is to set up a machine learning environment with Canonical’s Data Science Stack (DSS) and run your first model using Hugging Face’s Smol Course. Today, let’s take it a step further with experiment tracking. Experimentation is at the heart of data science,
