When using Intel-based processors for your Amazon EC2 instances, the Deep Learning AMIs come integrated with the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) to accelerate math processing and neural network routines.

You’ll want to partner with somebody who is customer obsessed, listens well, and is willing to do what it takes to make you successful over a long period of time without trying to force you down one particular direction. It’s also still early in this space, and a lot will change. This is why we have so many more customer references than you’ll find anywhere else for machine learning. Between our current array of ML capabilities and new things on the horizon the combination of our more open and flexible approach the easy integration with the best storage, analytics, security, and infrastructure platform in the world and the clear attractiveness of not having to manage the data and security model across multiple platforms, most customers conclude that AWS is the best choice for ML. So, to do machine learning well, you not only need substantial machine learning capabilities across all three layers of the stack, but also need the right data store, security, and analytics services to work hand-in-hand.
