Overview of this book

Deep learning is a branch of machine learning algorithms based on learning multiple levels of abstraction. Neural networks, which are at the core of deep learning, are being used in predictive analytics, computer vision, natural language processing, time series forecasting, and to perform a myriad of other complex tasks. This book is conceived for developers, data analysts, machine learning practitioners and deep learning enthusiasts who want to build powerful, robust, and accurate predictive models with the power of TensorFlow, combined with other open source Python libraries. Throughout the book, you’ll learn how to develop deep learning applications for machine learning systems using Feedforward Neural Networks, Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks, Autoencoders, and Factorization Machines. Discover how to attain deep learning programming on GPU in a distributed way. You'll come away with an in-depth knowledge of machine learning techniques and the skills to apply them to real-world projects.

Chapter 7. Heterogeneous and Distributed Computing

A computation expressed using TensorFlow can be executed with little or no changes on a wide variety of heterogeneous systems, ranging from mobile devices such as phones and tablets up to large-scale distributed systems of hundreds of machines and thousands of computational devices, such as GPU cards.

In this chapter, we explore this fundamental topic on TensorFlow. In particular, we shall consider the possibility of executing TensorFlow models on GPU cards and distributed systems.

GPUs have additional advantages over CPUs, including having more computational units and having a higher bandwidth for memory retrieval. Furthermore, in many deep learning applications that require a lot of computational effort, GPU graphics specific capabilities can be exploited to further speed up calculations.

At the same time, a distributed computing strategy can be useful if you have to handle a very large dataset to train your model.
