Title: “Dask Array: Scaling Up for Terabyte-Level Performance”
Invited Speaker: Hendrik Makait
When: Wednesday, April 9, 2025 at 12 PM EST
Where: Launch Meeting - Zoom
Abstract:

Dask Array is the distributed array framework that has been the de-facto standard for running large-scale Xarray computations for many years. Nonetheless, the experience has been mixed. Over the last couple of months, Dask and Xarray maintainers have worked together to improve several shortcomings that have made workloads painful to run (or fail altogether) in the past. In this talk, we will look at some of the improvements that were made, and how they combine with other changes like P2P rechunking to make running array computations at the Terabyte scale effortless.

Agenda:

  • ~15 minutes - Showcase presentation
  • 10 - 30 minutes - Discussion
  • 15 - 30 minutes - Community check-in
