Release notes and system requirements.

New Features and Improvements

Updates in 2022.1

  • We improved the performance of loading tensor data from numpy files.
  • We added an option to display channel values of literal 0 as blue to help distinguish from low-magnitude values that are non-zero, where this distinction is especially useful after ReLU activation or when comparing two tensors.
  • We added an option to display FP16 safe regions that help users to spot tensor values that are susceptible to precision loss when converted to FP16 format.
  • We added a right-click context menu for the main viewing region.
  • We added a Percent 0 column to the tensor stats view.
  • We added an option to display channel numbers in the channel views.

Updates in 2020.2

  • We added support to allow users to highlight any individual channel for a tensor. In the channel views (view_A, view_B, or compare_views) users can click on a channel of interest and a box will be drawn around the boundary of the channel. This allows users to track the same channel across different batch items or epochs.
  • We added support so that when an individual channel is highlighted, its stats info will also be automatically selected in the statistics window for easy correlation. This works only with view_A or view_B, not compare_views.
  • We improved how tensors are selected in the workspace panel. Now it requires a single click instead a double click to switch between tensors.
  • We fixed a crash issue when exiting from Clone Window.
  • We also added support that allows users to save a screenshot in the Clone Window.
