Build and Run a Sample Using the Command Line

AI Tools

In this section, you will run a simple "Hello World" project to familiarize yourself with the process of building projects, and then build your own project.

NOTE:
If you have not already configured your development environment, go to Configure your system then return to this page. If you have already completed the steps to configure your system, continue with the steps below.

You can use either a terminal window or Visual Studio Code* when working from the command line. For details on how to use VS Code locally, see Basic Usage of Visual Studio Code with oneAPI on Linux*. To use VS Code remotely, see Remote Visual Studio Code Development with oneAPI on Linux*.

Build and Run a Sample Project

Samples must be cloned to your system before you can build the sample project. To build and run a sample, start by cloning the sample, then follow the directions in README.md to build and run the sample. For more samples, browse the full GitHub repository: AI Tools Code Samples.

Sample(s) & Respective AI Tool Description Sample Location & More Information
Intel® Extension for PyTorch* CPU

Intel® Extension for PyTorch* GPU

(PyTorch* Optimizations from Intel)

Demos of the advanced features in Intel® Extension for PyTorch*.

Please check the features introduction page of Intel® Extension for PyTorch* online document for detail information.

For the Intel® Extension for PyTorch* CPU sample, first clone the repository using the following command: git clone https://github.com/intel/intel-extension-for-pytorch.git

Then activate the environment using the following command: conda activate pytorch

Finally, follow the instructions in the README file: Inference notebooks

For the Intel® Extension for PyTorch* GPU sample, first clone the repository using the following command: git clone https://github.com/intel/intel-extension-for-pytorch.git

Then activate the environment using the following command: conda activate pytorch

Finally, follow the instructions in the README file:

Training notebooks

Inference notebooks

TensorFlow* Getting Started Sample

(TensorFlow* Optimizations from Intel)

Demonstrates how to train an example neural network and shows how Intel-optimized TensorFlow* enables Intel® oneDNN calls by default.

This sample code shows how to get started with TensorFlow*. It implements an example neural network with one convolution layer and one ReLU layer.

Sample
Modin* Getting Started Sample

(Modin*)

This Getting Started sample code shows how to use distributed Pandas using the Modin* package. Sample
Intel® Python XGBoost* Getting Started Sample

(Intel® Optimization for XGBoost*)

Learn how to use Intel optimizations for XGBoost* published as part of Intel® AI Tools.

The sample also illustrates how to set up and train an XGBoost* model on datasets for prediction.

Sample
Intel® Python Scikit-learn* Extension Getting Started Sample

(Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn*)

Demonstrates how to use a support vector machine classifier from Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn* for digit recognition problem.

Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn* speeds up Scikit-learn* applications. The acceleration is achieved through the use of the Intel® oneAPI Data Analytics Library (oneDAL).

Sample

To see a list of components that support CMake, see Use CMake to with oneAPI Applications.

Build Your Own Project

No special modifications to your existing Python projects are required to start using them with these tools. For new projects, the process closely follows the process used for the Getting Started Samples. Refer to the TensorFlow* Getting Started Sample README file for instructions.

Maximizing Performance

You can get documentation to help you maximize performance for either TensorFlow* or PyTorch*.

Activate the AI Tools

. 
shell
source %HOME/intel/oneapi/intelpython/bin/activate

Create your own Environment

  1. To create an environment:
    . 
    shell
    conda create --name <my-env>
    

    This creates the virtual environment. No packages will be installed in this environment.

  2. To create an environment with a specific package:
    . 
    shell
    conda create -n myenv intel-extension-for-tensorflow -c https://software.repos.intel.com/python -c conda-forge
    

    Or:

    . 
    shell
    conda create --name myenv
    conda install -n myenv intel-extension-for-tensorflow -c https://software.repos.intel.com/python -c conda-forge

Using JupyterLab*

  1. Activate the AI Tools:
    . 
    shell
    source %HOME/intel/oneapi/intelpython/bin/activate
    
  2. Run JupyterLab:
    . 
    shell
    jupyter lab --ip 0.0.0.0 --no-browser --allow-root
