据说:“Intel优化的Tensorflow的conda软件包随新的2018英特尔Python Linux发行版一起发布。”
我不认为这是真的。在
在我们的集群中,我们有:
英特尔并行工作室XE 2018
在单独安装中,我们获得:
英特尔Python部署(IDP)2018(2.7,3.6)。在
以下是一个屏幕截图,其中包含优化后的tensorflow不是IDP 2018附带的证据:[whowell@acf-knl004 ~]$ module load intel-python/2.7/2018.0.018

其中一个优化是使用向量指令构建。因为我们得到一个警告,即所使用的tensorflow不是用向量指令构建的,所以我们不能使用优化版本。在
我们有生物信息学家要做大量的分布式tensorflow运行,而新的KNL专门为此目的。对于KNL来说,从优化的张量流开始是至关重要的。我们的员工中有几年在Xeon Phi架构和NVIDIA GPU方面具有尖端研究经验的人员。未来很可能会有合作的机会,以扩展tensorflow产品。在
你建议我们下一步怎么办?在
我们非常感谢在这方面的任何帮助。在
