The NVIDIA container image of Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit, release 17.01, is available.
Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit container image version 17.01 is based on Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit 2.0.beta5.0.
Contents of the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit
This container image contains the source files that are used to build Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit in the /opt/cntk
directory. The Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit binaries are pre-built and installed into the /usr/local/cntk
directory.
A Python 3.4 Conda environment (including the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit module) is installed in the /opt/conda/envs/cntk-py34
directory. This is included in PATH
, so by default the python
command executes a Python 3.4 interpreter. To use the base Ubuntu Python 2.7 binary, you can either adjust PATH
or explicitly call /usr/bin/python
.
This image of the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit, 2.0beta5.0, is built with the following options enabled:
- 1-bit SGD
- Async SGD
- Python API
- OpenCV
- Kaldi
The container also includes the following:
