Using Intel® Distribution for Python, you can

a) achieve faster Python application performance—right out of the box—with minimal or no changes to your code

b) Accelerate NumPy*, SciPy*, and scikit-learn* with integrated Libraries such as Intel® MKL and Intel® DAAL and

c) Access the latest vectorization and multithreading instructions

The Intel® DAAL helps speed big data analytics, by providing highly optimized algorithmic building blocks for all data analysis stages. It provides a rich set of algorithms, ranging from the most basic descriptive statistics for datasets to more advanced data mining and machine learning algorithms. Intel DAAL is a highly optimized library of computationally intensive routines supporting a variety of Intel CPU architectures.

Intel® VTune™ Amplifier helps in performance analysis, by collecting key profiling data and presents it with a powerful interface that simplifies its analysis and interpretation

TensorFlow* is a leading deep learning and machine learning framework. It now integrates optimizations for Intel® Xeon® processors. This workshop provides information for developers who want to build, install, and explore TensorFlow optimized on Intel architecture.
