Tensorflow

Tensorflow is a powerful compute-graph based software allowing high-performance neural networks to be constructed in Python. It's specific strength is in seamless GPU execution.

Which Machines

Only Duke and Zoidberg are publicly accessible. For the rest of the machines, you must either use Slurm (for the Borg Cluster) or get a custom login from the Sysadmin in charge of the machine.
