Windows* Machine Learning: AI Acceleration on Intel Hardware

Artificial intelligence (AI) is spanning across server, desktop, and edge markets. Intel has AI solutions spanning server, desktop, and edge markets. From the CPU infrastructure, Intel Xeon processors, Intel Core processors, and Intel Atom processors providing the basis of AI processing, to dedicated acceleration provided by Intel Iris Graphics, the low wattage Intel Movidius vision processing unit (VPU), new Intel Gaussian Network Accelerator (GNA), Mobileye* automotive technology, and dedicated Intel field-programmable gate array (FPGA) custom integration, the Intel AI product offerings span the gamut of applications. Windows* Machine Learning (ML) is an inference engine running on the edge on the Windows operating system (OS) and provides a very simple developer interface that will be optimized under the hood for Intel hardware. Intel is working very closely with Microsoft to ensure that the hardware optimization using Windows ML are state of the art acceleration of model evaluation.
