In this deck, Peter Braam looks at how TensorFlow framework could be used to accelerate high performance computing. "Google has developed TensorFlow, a truly complete platform for ML. The performance of the platform is amazing, and it begs the question if it will be useful for HPC in a similar manner that GPU’s heralded a revolution. As described in his talk at the CHPC 2018 Conference in South Africa, TensorFlow contains many ingredients, for example: * many domain specific libraries for machine learning * the TensorFlow domain specific data-flow language carefully organized input and output for data flow * an optimizing runtime and compiler * hardware implementations of TensorFlow operations in * TensorFlow processing unit (TPU) chips Learn more: https://wp.me/p3RLHQ-jMv and https://www.tensorflow.org/ Sign up for our insideHPC Newsletter: http://insidehpc.com/newsletter
