It features the latest breakthroughs in everything from healthcare to virtual reality, accelerated analytics, self-driving cars, and much more. This year the Ubuntu team will be on site at **booth 1227**. Join us for demos on * Using Kubeflow to manage Tensorflow jobs from desktop to servers and cloud. * Building a complete, on premise AI platform using automation tools (MAAS and Juju) to deploy and manage Kubernetes on bare metal. * How worker nodes with and without GPU’s are automatically identified to execute Tensorflow jobs. ## Talks: [Using Containers for GPU Workloads:](https://2018gputechconf.smarteventscloud.com/connect/sessionDetail.ww?SESSION_ID=148747) **March 28, 10:00AM – 10:50AM – Room 210E** **Presenters:** Christian Brauner – Software Engineer, Canonical Ltd. & Serge Hallyn: Principal Engineer, Cisco Learn how to use containers for efficient GPU utilization to achieve bare-metal performance for computationally intensive workloads. We’ll show how NVIDIA tools and libraries can be used to achieve drop-in GPU support and efficient GPU feature integration for container runtimes, and illustrate how to leverage system containers to run complex statistical models on NVIDIA GPUs. ## Tell us about your project Come discuss with our team to find out how Ubuntu can help you in your AI and deep learning projects.
