Tesla Autopilot and AI Development
11-16-2019
The more one knows about computer systems and AI, the more fascinating it is to see how Tesla AI engineers are training the neural networks for the autopilot system utilizing PyTorch innovative machine learning framework. The Autopilot has 48 neural networks, that make 1,000 distinct predictions, and takes 70,000 GPU hours to train them in round-robin training of different tasks on heterogeneous workload. It would take one node with eight GPUs to be training for a year.
