compute_target Module
Contains functionality for compute targets not managed by Azure Machine Learning.
Compute targets define your training compute environment, and can be either local, or remote resources in the cloud. Remote resources allow you to easily scale up or scale out your machine learning experimentation by taking advantage of accelerated CPU and GPU processing capabilities.
For information on compute targets managed by Azure Machine Learning, see the ComputeTarget class. For more information, see What are compute targets in Azure Machine Learning?
Classes
| AbstractComputeTarget |
An abstract class for compute targets not managed by Azure Machine Learning. Class AbstractComputeTarget constructor. |
| LocalTarget |
A class to define the local machine as a compute target. Set up local target. |
Functions
