Show Orca example
You can build end-to-end, distributed data processing & AI programs using _Orca_ in 4 simple steps: ```python # 1. Initilize Orca Context (to run your program on K8s, YARN or local laptop) from bigdl.orca import init_orca_context, OrcaContext sc = init_orca_context(cluster_mode="k8s", cores=4, memory="10g", num_nodes=2) # 2. Perform distribtued data processing (supporting Spark DataFrames, # TensorFlow Dataset, PyTorch DataLoader, Ray Dataset, Pandas, Pillow, etc.) spark = OrcaContext.get_spark_session() df = spark.read.parquet(file_path) df = df.withColumn('label', df.label-1) ... # 3. Build deep learning models using standard framework APIs # (supporting TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, OpenVino, etc.) from tensorflow import keras ... model = keras.models.Model(inputs=[user, item], outputs=predictions) model.compile(...) # 4. Use Orca Estimator for distributed training/inference from bigdl.orca.learn.tf.estimator import Estimator est = Estimator.from_keras(keras_model=model) est.fit(data=df, feature_cols=['user', 'item'], label_cols=['label'], ...) ```
*See Orca [user guide](https://bigdl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/doc/Orca/Overview/orca.html), as well as [TensorFlow](https://bigdl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/doc/Orca/QuickStart/orca-tf-quickstart.html) and [PyTorch](https://bigdl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/doc/Orca/QuickStart/orca-pytorch-quickstart.html) quickstart, for more details.* - In addition, you can also run standard **Ray** programs on Spark cluster using _**RayOnSpark**_ in Orca.
Show RayOnSpark example
You can not only run Ray program on Spark cluster, but also write Ray code inline with Spark code (so as to process the in-memory Spark RDDs or DataFrames) using _RayOnSpark_ in Orca. ```python # 1. Initilize Orca Context (to run your program on K8s, YARN or local laptop) from bigdl.orca import init_orca_context, OrcaContext sc = init_orca_context(cluster_mode="yarn", cores=4, memory="10g", num_nodes=2, init_ray_on_spark=True) # 2. Distribtued data processing using Spark spark = OrcaContext.get_spark_session() df = spark.read.parquet(file_path).withColumn(...) # 3. Convert Spark DataFrame to Ray Dataset from bigdl.orca.data import spark_df_to_ray_dataset dataset = spark_df_to_ray_dataset(df) # 4. Use Ray to operate on Ray Datasets import ray @ray.remote def consume(data) -> int: num_batches = 0 for batch in data.iter_batches(batch_size=10): num_batches += 1 return num_batches print(ray.get(consume.remote(dataset))) ```

With minimum code changes, *Nano* automatically applies modern CPU optimizations (e.g., SIMD, multiprocessing, low precision, etc.) to standard TensorFlow and PyTorch code, with up-to 10x speedup.
Show Nano inference example
You can automatically optimize a trained PyTorch model for inference or deployment using _Nano_: ```python model = ResNet18().load_state_dict(...) train_dataloader = ... val_dataloader = ... def accuracy (pred, target): ... from bigdl.nano.pytorch import InferenceOptimizer optimizer = InferenceOptimizer() optimizer.optimize(model, training_data=train_dataloader, validation_data=val_dataloader, metric=accuracy) new_model, config = optimizer.get_best_model() optimizer.summary() ``` The output of `optimizer.summary()` will be something like: ``` -------------------------------- ---------------------- -------------- ---------------------- | method | status | latency(ms) | accuracy | -------------------------------- ---------------------- -------------- ---------------------- | original | successful | 43.688 | 0.969 | | fp32_ipex | successful | 33.383 | not recomputed | | bf16 | fail to forward | None | None | | bf16_ipex | early stopped | 203.897 | None | | int8 | successful | 10.74 | 0.969 | | jit_fp32 | successful | 38.732 | not recomputed | | jit_fp32_ipex | successful | 35.205 | not recomputed | | jit_fp32_ipex_channels_last | successful | 19.327 | not recomputed | | openvino_fp32 | successful | 10.215 | not recomputed | | openvino_int8 | successful | 8.192 | 0.969 | | onnxruntime_fp32 | successful | 20.931 | not recomputed | | onnxruntime_int8_qlinear | successful | 8.274 | 0.969 | | onnxruntime_int8_integer | fail to convert | None | None | -------------------------------- ---------------------- -------------- ---------------------- Optimization cost 64.3s in total. ```
Show Nano Training example
You may easily accelerate PyTorch training (e.g., IPEX, BF16, Multi-Instance Training, etc.) using Nano: ```python model = ResNet18() optimizer = torch.optim.SGD(...) train_loader = ... val_loader = ... from bigdl.nano.pytorch import TorchNano # Define your training loop inside `TorchNano.train` class Trainer(TorchNano): def train(self): # call `setup` to prepare for model, optimizer(s) and dataloader(s) for accelerated training model, optimizer, (train_loader, val_loader) = self.setup(model, optimizer, train_loader, val_loader) for epoch in range(num_epochs): model.train() for data, target in train_loader: optimizer.zero_grad() output = model(data) # replace the loss.backward() with self.backward(loss) loss = loss_fuc(output, target) self.backward(loss) optimizer.step() # Accelerated training (IPEX, BF16 and Multi-Instance Training) Trainer(use_ipex=True, precision='bf16', num_processes=2).train() ```

Show Chronos example
You can train a time series forecaster using _Chronos_ in 3 simple steps: ```python from bigdl.chronos.forecaster import TCNForecaster from bigdl.chronos.data.repo_dataset import get_public_dataset # 1.

Create a `TCNForecaster` (automatically configured based on train_data) forecaster = TCNForecaster.from_tsdataset(train_data) # 3. Train the forecaster for prediction forecaster.fit(train_data) pred = forecaster.predict(test_data) ``` To apply AutoML, use `AutoTSEstimator` instead of normal forecasters. ```python # Create and fit an `AutoTSEstimator` from bigdl.chronos.autots import AutoTSEstimator autotsest = AutoTSEstimator(model="tcn", future_seq_len=10) tsppl = autotsest.fit(data=tsdata_train, validation_data=tsdata_val) pred = tsppl.predict(tsdata_test) ```
