AWS Neuron is a software development kit (SDK) enabling high-performance deep learning inference using AWS Inferentia custom designed machine learning chips. With Neuron, you can develop, deploy and run high-performance inference predictions with complex neural networks on top of Inferentia based EC2 Inf1 instances. Neuron is designed from the ground-up to allow for maximum scalability in optimizing both for throughput and latency for a wide variety of use-cases.
Neuron is pre-integrated into popular machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow, MXNet and Pytorch to provide a seamless training-to-inference workflow. It includes a compiler, runtime library, as well as debug and profiling utilities with a TensorBoard plugin for visualization. In most cases developers will only have to change a few lines of code to use Neuron from within a framework. Developers can integrate Neuron to their own custom frameworks/environments as well.
