1 min readMay 14, 2019
IBM® PowerAI has been rebranded as IBM Watson® Machine Learning Community Edition (Watson™ ML CE) to better align with IBM’s single AI integration strategy. The new Version 1.6.1 continues to build on three years of development with this AI development platform, providing an end-to-end deep learning platform for data scientists. It offers many optimizations that can ease installation and management, and can help accelerate performance:
- Ready-to-use deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Caffe, Caffe2, ONNX, and Keras).
- Powerful and scalable machine learning libraries (Snap ML and NVIDIA RAPIDS).
- Distributed as prebuilt containers, or on demand through the Conda provisioning process.
- Includes dependencies and libraries.
- Easy updates: Code updates arrive from a repository.
- Validated deep learning platform with each release.
- Dedicated support teams for deep learning.
- Designed for enterprise scale with multisystem cluster performance and large memory support.
- Supported on accelerated IBM Power® Systems servers; and new in version 1.6.1, also supported on accelerated x86 architecture servers.
