Is the Base toolkit a prerequisite for the AI Analytics toolkit?

[Conrad]

I want to accelerate a simple Tensorflow training loop on Intel Gen9/11 GPUs.

1. Can the AI Analytics toolkit support this? (using the oneDNN API)?
2. If yes, is the Base kit a prerequisite that needs to be installed first?

Thanks!

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Intel AI Analytics Toolkit Forum.

1)     At this moment , AI Analytics Toolkit 2021.1 gold version does not support Intel Gen9/11 GPUs.

2)     No , Base kit is not a prerequisite .You can directly use the AI kit.

Hope its clear.

Thank you ,

Raeesa

Hello,

Thank you for raising the question here We are actually preparing for one NDA alpha release package for Gen9/11 and dGPU. Do you have access the Intel DevCloud or do you have NDA or NDA customer who are interested in using the package? If yes, could you send one private message to the support team (any one of us in the forum) with such information. We can invite you to the alpha program.

Thanks and Best Regards,
