Tensorflow.js tf.getBackend() Function
Tensorflow.js is an open-source library developed by Google for running machine learning models and deep learning neural networks in the browser or node environment. It also helps the developers to develop ML models in JavaScript language and can use ML directly in the browser or in Node.js.
The tf.getBackend() function is used to return the current backend name.
Syntax:
tf.getBackend()
Parameters:
- It takes no parameters
Return Value: It returns a string value.
Example 1:
Javascript
// Setting the backend tf.setBackend("cpu") // Getting the backend using getBackend method console.log(tf.getBackend()) |
Output:
cpu
Example 2: In this example, we have set the backend to the string “cpu” and then removed it and then set it to string “webgl”.
Javascript
// Setting the backend tf.setBackend("cpu") tf.removeBackend('cpu') console.log(tf.getBackend()) tf.setBackend("webgl") // Getting the backend using getBackend method console.log(tf.getBackend()) |
Output:
null webgl
