- MIG GPUs on Della
- Multi-GPU training with PyTorch
- Tips for using Hugging Face
- Large ML datasets that are already available (e.g. ImageNet)
- JAX, R, Spark, scikit-learn, Julia, MATLAB, cuML
- Using jobstats and the web interface (preview of new features)
- Cryo-EM nodes

Overview of the A.I. Lab GPU Nodes
- Node specifications
- Who has access?
