FRAMEWORKS

  • HuggingFace
  • PyTorch
  • PyTorch Geometric
  • Lightning
  • TensorFlow
  • Keras
  • ONNX
  • PaddlePaddle

Train, fine-tune and accelerate state-of-the-art transformer models on IPU systems with Hugging Face. Graphcore's IPU-optimized transformer models allows developers to train models faster with minimal changes to your code.

Learn more about the wide range of models available in Hugging Face Optimum.

Graphcore is now a member of the PyTorch Foundation.

We have supported PyTorch for the IPU for several years now so IPU users can work with the standard PyTorch framework they know and love.

Learn how to build performant PyTorch applications for training and inference with our user guide, tutorials, and code examples.

To find out more about our announcement, read our blog.

PyG (PyTorch Geometric) is a library built upon PyTorch to easily write and train Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) for a wide range of applications related to structured data.

IPUs are fully integrated with PyG on Graphcore’s software stack, allowing users to build, port and run their GNNs on IPUs.

Read more in our announcement blog.

Introducing PyTorch Lightning for the IPU.

This initial release enables developers to use PyTorch Lightning's ultra-fast, lightweight AI research framework to accelerate their training models with the performance advantages of the IPU.

Users of PyTorch Lightning can now take any PopTorch models and run them directly on the IPU with minimal code changes.

To learn more, read our announcement blog.

Full support for TensorFlow 2 with integrated XLA backend.

The TensorFlow API for IPU includes distributed IPU-specific estimators and optimisers to enhance application performance.

Flexible model building capability with Keras Sequential & Functional API support for TensorFlow 2.

Functional and sequential support for Keras is provided via our TensorFlow 2 integration.

Developers can port many standard Keras models to the IPU, ready for optimization and performance tuning.

Developers can easily import and export models in ONNX format using Poplar Advanced Runtime (PopART™).

PopART uses Python and C++ APIs to allow models built in other ML frameworks to be accelerated on Graphcore’s IPU hardware.

Full support for Baidu's PaddlePaddle deep learning framework for large-scale model training, as well as high-performance inference tasks through the PaddlePaddle inference library.

To learn more, read our announcement blog.
