Content Creation Demo

There are (2) workloads that run simultaneously. Both are measured. The first workload is in Adobe Premiere Pro. This workload measures the time it takes Adobe Premiere Pro to export an 11:19 sequence of AVC clips with (2) audio tracks and Lumetri color effects applied. The video is exported with Hardware Acceleration. The second workload is in Adobe Lightroom Classic. This workload measures the time it takes Adobe Lightroom Classic to import 100 images to a catalog with a preset applied during import, and then export the files as JPEG at 60% quality.

The video source is a collection of 4K (3840X2160), H.264, 29.97 FPS, MP4 footage, recorded at a bitrate of approximately 90 Mb/s. The sequence includes .MP3 audio. The video clips have Lumetri color effects applied. The Sequence is 11 minutes and 19 seconds in length. The preset settings for export are based on the Premiere Preset named 'YouTube 2160p 4K Ultra HD', but has 'Time Interpolation' set to 'Frame Blending'.

Python Data Science Demo Taxi Demo portion

For the Python Data Science NYC Taxi demo, please also note that we made 3 separate attempts in order to get the Nvidia RAPIDS notebook shown in the demo video working, with each resulting in errors. The following attempts were:

1) On AWS (not shown in demo, only mentioned), on p3.16xlarge Ubuntu 20.04 instance where CUDA (NVidia video driver and other system related libraries) is preinstalled by Amazon. Followed instructions from CUDF repo to install Anaconda packages for revision 11.2. Notebook failed to execute a complex "query" statement with an "unknown error". Because this error had a vague explanation, further attempts to resolve the error were unsuccessful.

2) Attempted to install the nightly build (not shown in demo) using the same README as attempt 1 for instructions, but unfortunately with this could not even start dask_​cuda cluster because of another strange error. Please note that installing an environment for nightly is much harder than the stable version because the RAPIDS notebook has a lot of dependencies and with the nightly channel, caused a lot of conflicting versions.

3) On Lenovo workstation (shown in the demo video) followed instructions from a NVidia webpage to install video driver and CUDA libraries for Ubuntu 20.04 and then used the same instructions from CUDF repo page to install Anaconda packages for CUDF 11.2. This time "query" statement executed successfully but execution failed on XGBoost training (which we display in the demo). Again, error description doesn't really explain exactly what went wrong and what could be changed to avoid it. For this, did not try making a nightly installation to work for this after the first experience with attempt 2 because the instability makes it close to impossible to compose an Anaconda environment with all required packages
