Was this running the AWS Deep Learning AMI or did you build your own.

Because Intel was involved in its development and made a number of tweaks to improve performance.

Be curious if it actually was significant or not.

On AWS this was using nvidia-docker with the TensorFlow Docker images. Probably, the AWS AMI Deep Learning gives very similar performance (with same versions of CUDA, TensorFlow etc.). There's only so much you can tweak if the GPU itself is the bottleneck...
