Important

For the latest documentation about Windows Machine Learning, see What is Windows ML. That documentation describes APIs that are in the Microsoft.Windows.AI.MachineLearning namespace, which ships in the Windows App SDK. Those APIs supersede the ones documented here, which are in the Windows.AI.MachineLearning namespace, and were shipped in 2018.

The device used to evaluate the machine learning model.

Examples

The following example loads a model, selects the device on which to evaluate the model, and creates an evaluation session.

private async Task LoadModelAsync(string _modelFileName, bool _useGPU)
{
    LearningModel _model;
    LearningModelSession _session;

    try
    {
        // Load and create the model
        var modelFile = 
            await StorageFile.GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync(new Uri($"ms-appx:///Assets/{_modelFileName}"));
        _model = await LearningModel.LoadFromStorageFileAsync(modelFile);

        // Select the device to evaluate on
        LearningModelDevice device = null;
        if (_useGPU)
        {
            // Use a GPU or other DirectX device to evaluate the model.
            device = new LearningModelDevice(LearningModelDeviceKind.DirectX);
        }
        else
        {
            // Use the CPU to evaluate the model.
            device = new LearningModelDevice(LearningModelDeviceKind.Cpu);
        }

        // Create the evaluation session with the model and device.
        _session = new LearningModelSession(_model, device);

    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        StatusBlock.Text = $"error: {ex.Message}";
        _model = null;
    }
}
