AI Tools Selector Preset Containers

AI Tools Selector Preset Containers provides data scientists and developers with environment to perform various data-science tasks such as data analysis, data processing, machine learning and deep learning models training and inference. Each container is equipped with the Python packages and tools suited for each task. More detail about each container is described in the table below.

Prerequisites

  1. Make sure docker is installed on the machine. Follow the instruction here to install docker engine on a host machine.

  2. Pull a Preset Container of your choice from the AI Tools Selector or from the table. The commands below use the deep-learning preset as an example.

docker pull intel/deep-learning:latest-py<version>

Run Preset Container

There are 3 modes to run these containers:

Note

Modify the commands below to fit your use case, especially the image, environment variables, and GPU device path.

Run in Interactive Mode

This mode allows running the container in an interactive shell. This enables the ability to interact with the container's bash shell. Below is the command to start the container in interactive mode:

Run on CPU

docker run -it --rm \
    -p 8888:8888 --shm-size=12G \
    -v ${PWD}:/home/dev/workdir \
    intel/deep-learning:latest-py<version> bash

Note

Certain applications use shared memory to share data between processes. But the default shared memory segment size is 64M for docker containers, and is not enough for multithreaded applications (Ex. Modin*). Docker recommends increasing shared memory size using --shm-size.

Run on GPU

Find your machine's RENDER and VIDEO group values to enable Intel® Flex/Max GPU.

RENDER=$(getent group render | sed -E 's,^render:[^:]*:([^:]*):.*$,\1,')
VIDEO=$(getent group video | sed -E 's,^video:[^:]*:([^:]*):.*$,\1,')
test -z "$RENDER" || RENDER_GROUP="--group-add ${RENDER}"
test -z "$VIDEO" || VIDEO_GROUP="--group-add ${VIDEO}"
docker run -it --rm \
    ${RENDER_GROUP} \
    ${VIDEO_GROUP} \
    --device=/dev/dri \
    -p 8888:8888 --shm-size=12G \
    -v ${PWD}:/home/dev/workdir \
    -v /dev/dri/by-path:/dev/dri/by-path \
    intel/deep-learning:latest-py<version> bash

Note

Certain applications use shared memory to share data between processes. But the default shared memory segment size is 64M for docker containers, and is not enough for multithreaded applications(Ex. Modin). Docker recommends increasing shared memory size using --shm-size.

Next Steps

  1. For Deep Learning and Inference Optimization containers there will be separate conda environments for each AI framework: pytorch-cpu, pytorch-gpu, tensorflow-cpu and tensorflow-gpu. Use the command below to activate one environment:

    conda activate <env-name>

  2. Select a test from the sample-tests folder and run it using the following command as an example:

    python sample-tests/intel_extension_for_tensorflow/test_itex.py

Note

The sample-tests folder may differ in each container, and some tests use a bash script.

Run using Jupyter Notebook

This mode launches a jupyterlab notebook server. The command below will start the jupyterlab server which can be accessed from a web browser. Each container includes jupyter kernel to enable conda environment in jupyter notebook. The port for this server is 8888 and is exposed by default when you run the container.

Note

When launching a jupyter notebook server this way, docker assigns a network such that the container can communicate with other applications like a web browser. By default docker launches containers with the bridge network, but if you are trying to access this server from a machine you are ssh'ing into, change the network mode with the --net=host flag and ensure you are local port forwarding with ssh -L 8888:8888.

Run on Jupyter CPU

docker run -it --rm \
    -p 8888:8888 --shm-size=12G \
    -v ${PWD}:/home/dev/workdir \
    intel/deep-learning:latest-py<version>

Note

Certain applications use shared memory to share data between processes. But the default shared memory segment size is 64M for docker containers, and is not enough for multithreaded applications (Ex. Modin*). Docker recommends increasing shared memory size using --shm-size.

Run on Jupyter GPU

Find your machine's RENDER and VIDEO group values to enable Intel® Flex/Max GPU.

RENDER=$(getent group render | sed -E 's,^render:[^:]*:([^:]*):.*$,\1,')
VIDEO=$(getent group video | sed -E 's,^video:[^:]*:([^:]*):.*$,\1,')
test -z "$RENDER" || RENDER_GROUP="--group-add ${RENDER}"
test -z "$VIDEO" || VIDEO_GROUP="--group-add ${VIDEO}"
docker run -it --rm \
    ${RENDER_GROUP} \
    ${VIDEO_GROUP} \
    --device=/dev/dri \
    -p 8888:8888  --shm-size=12G \
    -v ${PWD}:/home/dev/workdir \
    -v /dev/dri/by-path:/dev/dri/by-path \
    intel/deep-learning:latest-py<version>

Note

Certain applications use shared memory to share data between processes. But the default shared memory segment size is 64M for docker containers, and is not enough for multithreaded applications (Ex. Modin*). Docker recommends increasing shared memory size using --shm-size.

Next Steps

  1. After running this command the terminal should display an output similar to displayed below in the image image The server address together with the port set can be used to connect to the jupyter server in a web browser. For example http://127.0.0.1:8888. The token displayed after the token= can be used as a password to login into the server. For example in the image displayed above the token is b66e74a85bc2570bf15782e5124c933c3a4ddabd2cf2d7d3.

  2. Select a notebook sample from the Overview notebook found in directory you launched the server with. In this example, the intel/deep-learning container has a notebook titled Deep_Learning_Samples_Overview.ipynb when launched in jupyter mode.

  3. After selecting a notebook sample, select the preset kernel found in the dropdown menu presented when loading the notebook. For Deep Learning and Inference Optimization containers there will be multiple kernels, one for each framework: pytorch, pytorch-gpu, and tensorflow.

Advanced Jupyter Server Configuration

Modify your notebook server command by using the default example below to change the network (port/ip) and security (privilege) settings by appending it to the docker run commands above:

docker run ... intel/deep-learning:latest-py<version> \
    bash -c "jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=~/jupyter \
            --port 8888 \
            --ip 0.0.0.0 \
            --no-browser \
            --allow-root"

Run in Multi-Node Distributed Mode [Advanced]

You can follow the instructions provided for Intel® Extension for TensorFlow* and Intel® Extension for PyTorch* along with the Deep Learning or Inference Optimization presets using your preferred framework.
