@tensorflow/tfjs-backend-cpu

What is @tensorflow/tfjs-backend-cpu?

@tensorflow/tfjs-backend-cpu is a backend for TensorFlow.js that allows you to run machine learning models on the CPU. It is particularly useful for environments where GPU acceleration is not available or necessary. This package provides the necessary infrastructure to execute TensorFlow.js operations using the CPU, making it versatile for various applications including training and inference of machine learning models.

What are @tensorflow/tfjs-backend-cpu's main functionalities?

Tensor Operations

This feature allows you to perform tensor operations using the CPU backend. The code sample demonstrates how to set the backend to CPU, create a tensor, and perform a square operation on it.

const tf = require('@tensorflow/tfjs');
require('@tensorflow/tfjs-backend-cpu');

// Set the backend to CPU
await tf.setBackend('cpu');

// Create a tensor
const tensor = tf.tensor([1, 2, 3, 4]);

// Perform an operation
const squared = tensor.square();
squared.print();

Model Training

This feature allows you to train machine learning models using the CPU backend. The code sample demonstrates how to define a simple model, compile it, generate synthetic data, train the model, and make a prediction.

const tf = require('@tensorflow/tfjs');
require('@tensorflow/tfjs-backend-cpu');

// Set the backend to CPU
await tf.setBackend('cpu');

// Define a simple model
const model = tf.sequential();
model.add(tf.layers.dense({units: 1, inputShape: [1]}));
model.compile({optimizer: 'sgd', loss: 'meanSquaredError'});

// Generate some synthetic data for training
const xs = tf.tensor2d([1, 2, 3, 4], [4, 1]);
const ys = tf.tensor2d([1, 3, 5, 7], [4, 1]);

// Train the model
await model.fit(xs, ys, {epochs: 10});

// Make a prediction
model.predict(tf.tensor2d([5], [1, 1])).print();

Model Inference

This feature allows you to perform model inference using the CPU backend. The code sample demonstrates how to load a pre-trained model, prepare an input tensor, and perform inference to get predictions.

const tf = require('@tensorflow/tfjs');
require('@tensorflow/tfjs-backend-cpu');

// Set the backend to CPU
await tf.setBackend('cpu');

// Load a pre-trained model
const model = await tf.loadLayersModel('https://storage.googleapis.com/tfjs-models/tfjs/mobilenet_v1_0.25_224/model.json');

// Prepare an input tensor
const input = tf.zeros([1, 224, 224, 3]);

// Perform inference
const prediction = model.predict(input);
prediction.print();
