The most straigtforward way install TensorFlow is to work in a virtual Python environment and simply to use either the TensorFlow official packages in pip or a wheel (.whl
) distribution.
Problems arise at some point when a lot of heavy image processing needs to be done.
Since prediction/inference primarly involves the CPU we might correctly ask ourselves:
Instead of precompiled binaries, that are not optimized for our set of CPU architecture extensions, what would be the speed gain if we would compile TensorFlow from source?
