1. A method comprising: (5) (3)

identifying, in dependence upon one or more machine learning models to be executed on one or more graphical processing unit (‘GPU’) servers, one or more transformations to apply to a dataset stored within one or more storage systems of a plurality of storage systems;

scheduling, by a unified management plane, one or more transformations for one or more of the storage systems to apply to the dataset; and

generating, by the storage system in dependence upon the one or more transformations, a transformed dataset.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising transmitting, from the storage system to the one or more GPU servers, the transformed dataset. (1) (0)

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising executing, by one or more of the GPU servers, one or more machine learning algorithms associated with the machine learning model using the transformed dataset as input. (0)

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising: (0) (1)

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising maintaining, by the storage system, information describing the dataset, the one or more transformations applied to the dataset, and the transformed dataset. (0)
