AI Frameworks and Tools

The compute partitions available for NHR@ZIB contain several popular artificial intelligence (AI) frameworks and tools for use with both CPU and GPU resources. These packages can be accessed through the custom anaconda3/2023.09 module and its system-wide Python distribution. For a list of installed Python packages, one may call conda list after the module is loaded. The full list of anaconda packages can be found here.
