Running BigDL Apache Spark Deep Learning Library on Microsoft Data Science Virtual Machine

BigDL is a distributed deep learning library for Apache Spark. It has both Python and Scala interfaces and takes advantage of Spark-enabled distributed compute infrastructure, allowing users to write Deep Learning applications in a familiar native Spark context format. The Microsoft Data Science Virtual Machine (DSVM) is a customized VM image on Azure built specifically for doing data science and deep learning. It has many popular AI and data science tools pre-installed and pre-configured, helping jump-start the process of building intelligent apps that use predictive analytics and deep learning. DSVM is available on Windows Server 2012 and on Linux in both Ubuntu and CentOS7 editions.
