Accelerate End-to-End AI Pipelines Using the Intel® AI Analytics Toolkit

Managing data across AI pipelines is challenging with the need to maximize performance everywhere. AI Tools provide developers, data scientists, and researchers with a comprehensive set of tools that help accelerate end-to-end data science and machine learning pipelines on Intel® architecture. It provides:

• High-performance machine and deep learning
• Fast and accurate training and inference
• Ability to scale up and scale out seamlessly
• Interoperability with Intel's latest optimizations in a single integrated package
• Out-of-the-box performance with just changing one line of code for scikit-learn* and Modin* (no code changes are needed for other components)

As a result, you see real-world results with up to 59x faster end-to-end workloads,¹ 2.4x faster training, and 3x faster TensorFlow* workloads.²
