ibmz-accelerated-for-tensorflow

TensorFlow is an open source machine learning framework. It has a comprehensive set of tools that enable model development, training, and inference. It also features a rich, robust ecosystem.

On IBM® z16™ and later (running Linux on IBM Z or IBM® z/OS® Container Extensions (IBM zCX)), TensorFlow core Graph Execution will leverage new inference acceleration capabilities that transparently target the IBM Integrated Accelerator for AI through the IBM z Deep Neural Network (zDNN) library. The IBM zDNN library contains a set of primitives that support Deep Neural Networks. These primitives transparently target the IBM Integrated Accelerator for AI on IBM z16™ and later. No changes to the original model are needed to take advantage of the new inference acceleration capabilities.

Note. When using IBM Z Accelerated for TensorFlow on either an IBM z14™ or an IBM z15™, TensorFlow will transparently target the CPU with no changes to the model.
