Enabling AI / ML workflows with CREODIAS vGPUs

 

Machine Learning presents an attractive opportunity for supplementing or substituting traditional methods of data processing, including Earth Observation data. Training and tuning ML models are most efficient with a quick feedback loop on the training results. That is where GPUs show their great performance advantage over running the training on regular CPUs.

 

CREODIAS users working on the WAW3-1 cloud get flexible access to powerful vGPU-enabled machines, along with integrated access to Earth Observation data. This combination enables users to quickly start building and deploying their own AI/ML models.

 

To get started with AI applications, users can now access new articles about Machine Learning in the knowledge base. These articles provide instructions for installing popular ML libraries TensorFlow and Keras on CREODIAS. They also present a sample deep learning workflow of classifying satellite images that can serve as a reference for further own exploration.
