Decide on a framework

When using IBM Spectrum Conductor Deep Learning Impact 1.1.0 for deep learning, you must first decide on a supported deep learning framework to use.

IBM Spectrum Conductor Deep Learning Impact requires at least one framework to be installed. Before deciding on a framework, determine which frameworks are installed and available to you. For a full list of supported frameworks, see Supported deep learning frameworks.
Note:
  • IBM Spectrum Conductor Deep Learning Impact installation requires at least one supported framework to be installed. However, it is recommended that you install both TensorFlow and Caffe or IBM Caffe. If either framework is missing, the option for the missing framework will not work in the cluster management console. If both Caffe and IBM Caffe are installed, IBM Spectrum Conductor Deep Learning Impact uses IBM Caffe by default.
  • To use the Distributed training with Caffe training engine, install CaffeOnSpark 1.6.1, 2.1.1 or 2.2.0.
