# Tensorflow

Tensorflow is an open-source machine learning platform. It provides an ecosystem of tools and libraries that allow researchers to build and deploy machine learning applications.

# Workflow 1: Singularity

The flight environment will need to be activated before the environments can be created so be sure to run flight start or setup your environment to automatically activate the flight environment.

# Installing Tensorflow with Singularity

Create a singularity software environment:

[flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ flight env create singularity

Activate the environment:

[flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ flight env activate singularity

# Running the Job

Download the example job models:

<singularity> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ git clone -b v1.13.0 https://github.com/tensorflow/models.git

Launch the tensorflow docker container with singularity to run the job:

<singularity> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ singularity exec docker://tensorflow/tensorflow:1.15.0 python ./models/tutorials/image/mnist/convolutional.py

# Workflow 2: Conda

The flight environment will need to be activated before the environments can be created so be sure to run flight start or setup your environment to automatically activate the flight environment.

# Installing TensorFlow with Conda

Create a conda software environment:

[flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ flight env create conda

Activate the environment:

[flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ flight env activate conda

Create a Python environment for tensorflow:

(base) <conda> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ conda create -n tensorflow python=3.6

Activate the Python environment:

(base) <conda> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ source activate tensorflow

Install the tensorflow package:

(tensorflow) <conda> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ pip install tensorflow==1.15

# Running the Job

Download the example job models:

(tensorflow) <conda> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ git clone -b v1.13.0 https://github.com/tensorflow/models.git

Execute the job with python:

(tensorflow) <conda> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ python ./models/tutorials/image/mnist/convolutional.py
