Learning Ray: Flexible Distributed Python for Machine Learning

by Max Pumperla, Edward Oakes, Richard Liaw

Get started with Ray, the open source distributed computing framework that simplifies the process of scaling compute-intensive Python workloads. With this practical book, Python programmers, data engineers, and data scientists will learn how to leverage Ray locally and spin up compute clusters. You'll be able to use Ray to structure and run machine learning programs at scale. Authors Max Pumperla, Edward Oakes, and Richard Liaw show you how to build machine learning applications with Ray. You'll understand how Ray fits into the current landscape of machine learning tools and discover how Ray continues to integrate ever more tightly with these tools. Distributed computation is hard, but by using Ray you'll find it easy to get started.
