Intel Accelerates PadChest and fMRI Models on Microsoft Azure Machine Learning
"The Intel team's optimization of fMRI and PadChest models using Intel® Extension for PyTorch* and OpenVINO™ toolkit powered by oneAPI, leading to approximately 6x increase in performance, tailored for medical imaging, showcases best practices that do more than just accelerate running times. These enhancements not only cater to the unique demands of medical image processing but also offer the potential to reduce overall costs and bolster scalability."
— Santamaria-Pang Alberto, principal applied data scientist, Health AI at Microsoft
"We are elated to leverage the power of CPU instances provided by Microsoft Azure machine learning to enable developers and data scientists to take advantage of Intel® AI optimizations powered by Intel hardware. By integrating optimizations such as the Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn* powered by oneAPI into the platform, users can easily accelerate development and deployment of machine learning workloads for faster results and achieve a reduction in resource costs with just a few lines of code."
