OpenVINO™ integration with TensorFlow

OpenVINO™ integration with TensorFlow is a solution for TensorFlow developers who want to get started with OpenVINO™ in their inferencing applications. By adding just two lines of code you can now take advantage of OpenVINO™ toolkit optimizations with TensorFlow inference applications across a range of Intel® computation devices.

This is all you need:

import openvino_tensorflow
openvino_tensorflow.set_backend('<backend_name>')

OpenVINO™ integration with TensorFlow accelerates inference across many AI models on a variety of Intel® technologies, such as:

  • Intel® CPUs

  • Intel® integrated GPUs

  • Intel® Movidius™ Vision Processing Units - referred to as VPU

  • Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with 8 Intel Movidius™ MyriadX VPUs - referred to as VAD-M or HDDL

Note

For maximum performance, efficiency, tooling customization, and hardware control, we recommend developers to adopt native OpenVINO™ solutions.

To find out more about the product itself, as well as learn how to use it in your project, check its dedicated GitHub repository.

To see what you can do with OpenVINO™ integration with TensorFlow, explore the demos located in the examples folder in our GitHub repository.

Sample tutorials are also hosted on Intel® DevCloud. The demo applications are implemented using Jupyter Notebooks. You can interactively execute them on Intel® DevCloud nodes, compare the results of OpenVINO™ integration with TensorFlow, native TensorFlow, and OpenVINO™.
