This post is co-written with Chaim Rand from Mobileye. Certain machine learning (ML) workloads, such as training computer vision models or reinforcement learning, often involve combining the GPU- or accelerator-intensive task of neural network model training with the CPU-intensive task of data preprocessing, like image augmentation. When both types of tasks run on the same …
