Steve Farrell is a Machine Learning Engineer in the Data and Analytics Services group at NERSC. He supports machine learning and deep learning workflows on the NERSC supercomputers and collaborates with scientists for applied ML research. Steve maintains the Deep Learning software stack at NERSC, including Intel-optimized Tensorflow and PyTorch, scalable libraries for training such as Horovod and the Cray PE ML Plugin, and Jupyter notebook solutions for distributed ML on the Cori supercomputer. He is also compiling and maintaining a set of Deep Learning science benchmark applications for NERSC, to characterize the supercomputer systems and to guide optimization efforts to ensure that scientific applications run smoothly and efficiently. Finally, Steve provides training to the community through documentation, blog posts, workshops, and tutorials.
