Ray: A System for High-performance, Distributed Python Applications
Ray: A System for High-performance, Distributed Python Applications

Abstract: 

Ray is an open-source distributed framework from U.C. Berkeley’s RISELab that easily scales Python applications from a laptop to a cluster, with an emphasis on ML/AI systems, such as reinforcement learning. It is now used in many production deployments.

In this tutorial, we'll use several hands-on examples to explore the problems that Ray solves and the useful features it provides, such as rapid distribution, scheduling, and execution of “tasks” and management of distributed stateful “serverless” computing. We'll see how it's used in several ML libraries (and play with examples using those libraries). You'll learn when to use Ray and how to use it in your projects.
