Setting up Watson Machine Learning Accelerator

When you set up and configure Watson Machine Learning Accelerator to work with Watson Studio Local, you can train models by using deep neural networks and use Watson Studio experiments.

Watson Machine Learning Accelerator provides GPU accelerated training to dramatically shorten training times. You must install Watson Studio Local before setting up Watson Machine Learning Accelerator.
Note: After you upgrade Watson Studio Local, the public key might change. Work with your Watson Machine Learning Accelerator administrator to update the public key. Learn more about updating the public key by going to the "If IBM Watson Studio Local is installed with WML Accelerator, update the public key section."

In order to associate Watson Studio Local with a Watson Machine Learning Accelerator instance, you must register it using the updateWMLClusterdetails.sh command line utility. This allows Watson Studio Local to locate a Watson Machine Learning Accelerator instance and identify which Watson Machine Learning Accelerator details should be used.

Without proper registration, Watson Machine Learning Accelerator features cannot be used by Watson Studio and Watson Machine Learning.

Use the following parameters and details to register Watson Studio Local using the updateWMLClusterdetails.sh command line utility:
updateWMLClusterdetails.sh https://wmla-master.example.com 9243 wml-ig wml-ig-edt
URL
The required URL that points to the Watson Machine Learning Accelerator instance.
Example: https://wmla-master.example.com
Port
The required network that points to the Watson Machine Learning Accelerator instance.
Example: 9243
Spark instance group
The required name of the Spark instance group that will be used for training.
Example: wml-ig
Elastic Distributed Training (EDT) group
The required name of the instance group that will be used for training EDT.
Example: wml-ig-edt
