Can I implement deep learning models in my laptop with intel hd graphics

Question

I am currently doing a project on deep learning for my masters degree. I wanted to install keras library, so when I started installing Theano and tensorflow i saw that i hav

Answer 1

You can install and use keras without cuda, but you can't get gpu accelerating with intel hd graphics.

If you use Theano as keras' backend, first install Theano:

# for python2
pip install theano
# for python3
pip3 install theano

Then set ~/.theanorc file like this:

[global]
floatX = float32
device = cpu
allow_gc = True

[blas]
ldflags = -lopenblas

If you use TensorFlow as keras' backend, just install the CPU version of TensorFlow.

# for python2.7
pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl
# for python3.4
pip3 install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.0-cp34-cp34m-linux_x86_64.whl
# for python3.5
pip3 install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.0-cp35-cp35m-linux_x86_64.whl

Then install keras:

# for python2
pip install keras
# for python3
pip3 install keras

Answer 2

Edit: As of now, you can directly use OpenCL based clDNN (https://github.com/01org/clDNN) instead of using OpenVX, in order to perform Deep Learning inference on Intel Graphics. You will have to do the training on a powerful GPU like Nvidia or AMD and use the pre-trained model and use it in clDNN.

You can start using Intel's Computer Vision SDK (https://software.intel.com/en-us/computer-vision-sdk) in order to write Deep Learning Applications using OpenCV or OpenVX.

OpenVX (https://www.khronos.org/openvx/) programming model allows you to write simple Neural Network pipelines using the following SPEC (https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenVX/extensions/neural_network/html/)

Alternatively you can use Model Optimizer that converts Caffe/TensorFlow model into OpenVX, and you can accelerate the OpenVX Neural Network graph on Intel Integrated HD Graphics.

Hope it helps.

Answer 3

Their is a PlaidML with that you train deep learning model on Intel and AMD gpu.
