引用 Our C++ software framework, called Poplar, interfaces seamlessly to leading machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow. Poplar automatically converts the graph output from the frameworks into the code and the communication patterns that will run on the IPU using an extremely complex computational graph.
そして、
引用 If you want to keep things really simple, you can just write your machine learning model description in TensorFlow and then let Poplar compile and run it on the IPU. If you want more control, you can go in and look at the library elements and modify them or extend them to create new types of machine learning model or deep neural networks.
とありますね。
それから、12個のモデルをイメージも画像で載っているんですが、これの意味がいまいち、わかりません。
Deep Learing Summit San Franciso, 25-26 JANUARY 2018にて、出てくるんでしょうかね。
