Hands-on workshop contents to learn Intel distribution of OpenVINO toolkit - a deep learning inferencing library. The workshop contents are tested on Ubuntu and Windows 10 systems.

Intel distribution of OpenVINO toolkit is a library suite for computer vision applications. OpenVINO consists of following libraries and tools.

• Inference Engine - Efficient, high-performance and flexible deep learning inference run-time engine library
• Model Optimizer - Convert generic deep-learning models into OpenVINO IR format
• Model Downloader - Download OMZ (Open Model Zoo, Intel) models and popular deep learning models
• Deep Learning Workbench - Post training model re-quantization, benchmarking, accuracy checking
• OpenCV - High performance and feature-rich image processing library

OpenVINO provides great scalability. It supports wide variety of deep learning processors and accelerators. You can use almost the same code on different hardware easily.

• CPU - Atom to Xeon, OpenVINO supports the latest DL boot instructions
• Integrated GPU - OpenVINO can leverage the performance of integrated GPU and off load the task from CPU
• VPU - Vision Processing Unit (Myriad). A low power yet powerful deep-learning accelerator from Intel
• FPGA - OpenVINO compatible FPGA acclerator cards are available
• HDDL - High Density Deep Learning accelerator. Single or multiple Myriad devices are on a board

Also, OpenVINO supports various operating systems.

• Windows 10, Ubuntu, CentOS, MacOS

You will learn the basics of OpenVINO through this workshop.
