Intel® Extension for TensorFlow* Docker Container Guide

Description

This document has instruction for running TensorFlow using Intel® Extension for TensorFlow* in docker container.

Assumptions:

  • Host machine installs Intel GPU.
  • Host machine installs Linux kernel that is compatible with GPU drivers.
  • Host machine has Intel GPU driver.
  • Host machine installs Docker software.

Refer to Install for GPU and Install for CPU for detail.

Binaries Preparation

Download and copy Intel® Extension for TensorFlow* wheel into ./models/binaries directory.

mkdir ./models/binaries

To use Intel® Optimization for Horovod* with the Intel® oneAPI Collective Communications Library (oneCCL), copy Horovod wheel into ./models/horovod as well.

mkdir ./models/horovod

Usage of Docker Container

I. Customize build script

build.sh is provided as docker container build script. While OS version and some software version (such as Python and TensorFlow) is hard coded inside the script. If you prefer to use newer or later version, you can edit this script.

For example, to build docker container with Python 3.9 and TensorFlow 2.11 on Ubuntu 20.04 layer, update build.sh as below.

IMAGE_NAME=intel-extension-for-tensorflow:cpu-ubuntu
        docker build --build-arg UBUNTU_VERSION=20.04 \
                                --build-arg PYTHON=python3.9 \
                                --build-arg TF_VER=2.11 \
                                --build-arg TF_PLUGIN_WHEEL=intel_extension_for_tensorflow*.whl \
                                -t $IMAGE_NAME \
                                -f itex-cpu-ubuntu.Dockerfile .

II. Build the container

To build the docker container, enter into docker folder and run below commands:

./build.sh [gpu-flex/gpu-max/cpu-centos/cpu-ubuntu]

III. Running container

Run following commands to start docker container. You can use -v option to mount your local directory into container. To make GPU available in the container, attach the GPU to the container using --device /dev/dri option and run the container:

IMAGE_NAME=intel-extension-for-tensorflow:gpu-max
docker run -v <your-local-dir>:/workspace \
           -v /dev/dri/by-path:/dev/dri/by-path \
           --device /dev/dri \
           --privileged \
           -e http_proxy=$http_proxy \
           -e https_proxy=$https_proxy \
           -e no_proxy=$no_proxy \
           -it \
           $IMAGE_NAME bash

Verify if GPU is accessible from TensorFlow

You are inside container now. Run following command to verify GPU is visible to TensorFlow:

python -c "from tensorflow.python.client import device_lib; print(device_lib.list_local_devices())"

You should be able to see GPU device in list of devices. Sample output looks like below:
