Walmart has trained their machine learning algorithms 20X faster with RAPIDS™ open-source data processing and machine learning libraries. Built on CUDA-X AI™ and leveraging NVIDIA GPUs, RAPIDS has enabled Walmart to get the right products to the right stores more efficiently, react in real time to shopper trends, and realize inventory cost savings at scale.
Retailers need to be able to understand what products they need to stock in which stores to a really low level of detail to make sure that they’re serving their customers, that the products are on the shelf, so customers can get them when they want them. Tesco’s talented supply chain team helped to implement new machine learning-based forecasting algorithms, providing the ability to manage over 3,000 stores and over 30 million products over a 21-day horizon.
