dremio-oss VS Pytorch

Dremio - Dremio is a data lakehouse based on the open-source Apache Iceberg table format. It offers different compute instances to process data that lives in your S3 bucket. You pay for S3 storage independently.

Dremio core is actually fully open source: https://github.com/dremio/dremio-oss

I have been using Dremio to query large volume of CSV files: https://docs.dremio.com/software/data-sources/files-and-dire...

Although having them in some columnar format is much better for fast responses.

As a Developer Advocate for Dremio I spend a lot of time doing research on technology and best practices around engineering Data Lakehouses and sharing what I learn through content for Subsurface - The Data Lakehouse Community. One of the major topics I've been diving deep into is the topic of Data Lakehouse Table Formats, these allow you to take the files on your data lake and group them into tables data processing engines like Dremio can operate on.

Hearing about all these components sounds great, but what everyone wants isn't to have to setup and configure all these components but instead have a platform and tool that brings this all together in an easy to use package, and that platform is Dremio. With Dremio you can work with the data directly from your data lake. No copies, easy access, high performance.

And as u/pych_phd said, it's not just Databricks, Snowflake and Azure who make these claims, even AWS, GCP, Dremio and I'm sure many others are too.

Dremio

For my home projects I generate parquet (columnar and very well suited for DW like queries) files with pyarrow and use https://github.com/dremio/dremio-oss (https://www.dremio.com/on-prem/) to query them on lake (minio or just local disk or s3) and use Apache Superset for quick charts or dashboards.

PyTorch (https://pytorch.org/)

torch is a package to manage tensors and dynamic neural networks in python (GitHub)

PyTorch also has some support for them, but it's quite incomplete and has many issues so that it is basically unusable. And its future development is also unclear. https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/60832

TensorFlow

TensorFlow, developed by Google, and PyTorch, developed by Facebook, are two of the most popular frameworks for building and training complex machine learning models. TensorFlow is known for its flexibility and robust scalability, making it suitable for both research prototypes and production deployments. PyTorch is praised for its ease of use, simplicity, and dynamic computational graph that allows for more intuitive coding of complex AI models. Both frameworks support a wide range of AI models, from simple linear regression to complex deep neural networks.

> does PyTorch have a similar concept

of course https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/main/torch/utils/_py...

fyi should work on most 40xx[1]

Sure, right here: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/main/torch/autograd/...

Here's the documentation: https://pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/forward_ad_usage....

> When an input, which we call “primal”, is associated with a “direction” tensor, which we call “tangent”, the resultant new tensor object is called a “dual tensor” for its connection to dual numbers[0].
