Progress on making eBPF work on Windows 

eBPF is a well-known, but revolutionary, technology for providing programmability, extensibility, and agility. eBPF has been applied to use cases such as denial-of-service protection and observability. In May 2021, we announced the effort to make eBPF work on Windows, and were encouraged by the huge amount of interest. Six months have passed since then, and...Read more

We are introducing ONNX Runtime Web (ORT Web), a new feature in ONNX Runtime to enable JavaScript developers to run and deploy machine learning models in browsers. It also helps enable new classes of on-device computation. ORT Web will be replacing the soon to be deprecated onnx.js, with improvements such as a more consistent developer...Read more

Join Microsoft and the Spring community at SpringOne 2021 

Microsoft loves Spring, and we’d love to see you at SpringOne during September 1 – 2, 2021. Join us for Spring on Azure announcements and attend keynotes, sessions, and hands-on workshops over a two-day, all-virtual event. Spring is an important part of the Java ecosystem and we’ve been working together with VMware to make it...Read more

Introducing Distributed Data Parallel support on PyTorch Windows 

Model training has been and will be in the foreseeable future one of the most frustrating things machine learning developers face. It takes quite a long time and people can’t really do anything about it. If you have the luxury (especially at this moment of time) of having multiple GPUs, you are likely to find...Read more

“With its resource-efficient and high-performance nature, ONNX Runtime helped us meet the need of deploying a large-scale multi-layer generative transformer model for code, a.k.a., GPT-C, to empower IntelliCode with the whole line of code completion suggestions in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code.” Large-scale transformer models, such as GPT-2 and GPT-3, are among the most...Read more

How to migrate and modernize Linux workloads and open source databases to Azure 

With extensive support for all major Linux distributions including Red Hat, SUSE, Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, and managed platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offerings for open source databases like Azure Database for MySQL, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, and Azure Database for MariaDB—it’s no surprise that Linux is the fastest growing platform on Azure. Furthermore, Azure Migrate makes the discovery,...Read more
