Researchers at Google and Intel recently collaborated to extract the maximum performance from Intel® Xeon and Intel® Xeon Phi processors running TensorFlow*, a leading deep learning and machine learning framework. This effort resulted in significant performance gains and leads the way for ensuring similar gains from the next generation of products from Intel. Optimizing Deep Neural Network (DNN) models such as TensorFlow presents challenges not unlike those encountered with more traditional High Performance Computing applications for science and industry.

Amazon EC2 Computing Cloud and High-Performance Computing
2013 has been an exciting year for the field of Statistics and Big Data, with the release of the new R version 3.0.0. We discuss a few topics in this area, providing toy examples and supporting code for configuring and using Amazon’s EC2 Computing Cloud. There are other ways to get the job done, of course. But we found it helpful to build the infrastructure on Amazon from scratch, and hope others might find it useful, too.
