Accelerated Python for Data Science
January 23, 2019 by
The Intel Distribution for Python takes advantage of the Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel® AVX) and multiple cores in the latest Intel architectures. By utilizing the highly optimized Intel MKL BLAS and LAPACK routines, key functions run up to 200 times faster on servers and 10 times faster on desktop systems. This means that existing Python applications will perform significantly better merely by switching to the Intel distribution.
Intel Performance Libraries Accelerate Python Performance for HPC and Data Science
September 19, 2018 by
Python is now the most popular programming language, according to IEEE Spectrum’s fifth annual interactive ranking of programming languages, ahead of C++ and C. Recent Intel Distributions for Python show that real HPC performance can be achieved with compilers and library packages optimized for the latest Intel architectures. Moreover, the library packages targeted for big data analysis and numerical computation included in this distribution now support scaling for multi-core and many-core processors as well as distributed cluster and cloud infrastructures.
Machine Learning with Python: Distributed Training and Data Resources on Blue Waters
August 7, 2018 by
Aaron Saxton from NCSA gave this talk at the Blue Waters Symposium. “Blue Waters currently supports TensorFlow 1.3, PyTorch 0.3.0 and we hope to support CNTK and Horovod in the near future. This tutorial will go over the minimum ingredients needed to do distributed training on Blue Waters with these packages. What’s more, we also maintain an ImageNet data set to help researchers get started training CNN models. I will review the process by which a user can get access to this data set.”
Python Can Do It
April 9, 2018 by
“Python remains a single threaded environment with the global interpreter lock as the main bottleneck. Threads must wait for other threads to complete before starting to do their assigned work. The result of this model is that production code is produced that is too slow to be useful for large simulations.”
