Are certifications worth it?
I have just been on RedHat SA 3 training course (4 days) and sat exams
EX200 (RHCSA) and
EX300 (RHCE)
The daft thing was that politics meant I wasn't allowed to take courses SA 1 or 2. So I learnt about stuff I would never use (SELinux; iSCSI; NFS Kerberos encrypted with user specific access rules etc.) and then took the exams.
Somehow I passed RHCSA for the course I didn't do, even though I didn't know a few big chunks so would score zero for those sections. Sadly I failed on RHCE because there's too much to remember about irrelevant stuff that I would never dream of using and it all seems a bit over contrived.
Given that the exams marks if you can pass the exam rather than how you perform in a real job, what do people think of it's value? It might look good to management and help get an interview, but as someone not looking to move, ........ ?
Just wondering,
Robin

mpscnnbatchnormalizationnode
MPSCNNBatchNormalizationNode(3) MetalPerformanceShaders.framework MPSCNNBatchNormalizationNode(3)
NAME
MPSCNNBatchNormalizationNode
SYNOPSIS
#import <MPSNNGraphNodes.h>
Inherits MPSNNFilterNode.
Instance Methods
(nonnull instancetype) - initWithSource:dataSource:
Class Methods
(nonnull instancetype) + nodeWithSource:dataSource:
Properties
MPSCNNBatchNormalizationFlags flags
Detailed Description
A node representing batch normalization for inference or training Batch normalization operates differently for inference and training. For
inference, the normalization is done according to a static statistical representation of data saved during training. For training, this
representation is ever evolving. In the low level MPS batch normalization interface, during training, the batch normalization is broken up
into two steps: calculation of the statistical representation of input data, followed by normalization once the statistics are known for
the entire batch. These are MPSCNNBatchNormalizationStatistics and MPSCNNBatchNormalization, respectively.
When this node appears in a graph and is not required to produce a MPSCNNBatchNormalizationState -- that is,
MPSCNNBatchNormalizationNode.resultState is not used within the graph -- then it operates in inference mode and new batch-only statistics
are not calculated. When this state node is consumed, then the node is assumed to be in training mode and new statistics will be calculated
and written to the MPSCNNBatchNormalizationState and passed along to the MPSCNNBatchNormalizationGradient and
MPSCNNBatchNormalizationStatisticsGradient as necessary. This should allow you to construct an identical sequence of nodes for inference
and training and expect the to right thing happen.
