How AT&T Data Science Team Solved an Insurmountable Big Data Challenge on Databricks
Description
Data driven personalization is an insurmountable challenge for AT&T’s data science team because of the size of datasets and complexity of data engineering. More often these data preparation tasks not only take several hours or days to complete but some of these tasks fail to complete affecting productivity. In this session, the AT&T Data Science team will talk about how RAPIDS Accelerator for Apache Spark and Photon runtime on Databricks can be leveraged to process these extremely large datasets resulting in improved content recommendation, classification, etc while reducing infrastructure costs. The team will compare speedups and costs to the regular Databricks runtime Apache Spark environment. The size of tested datasets vary from 2TB - 50TB which consists of data collected from for 1 day to 31 days. The talk will showcase the results from both RAPIDS accelerator for Apache Spark and Databricks Photon runtime.
