The NVIDIA container image of TensorFlow, release 18.03, is available.
Contents of TensorFlow
This container image contains the complete source of the version of NVIDIA TensorFlow in /opt/tensorflow
. It is pre-built and installed as a system Python module.
To achieve optimum TensorFlow performance, for image based training, the container includes a sample script that demonstrates efficient training of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The sample script may need to be modified to fit your application.
The container also includes the following:
- Ubuntu 16.04
