During the installation procedure for Machine Learning Services that we looked at way back in Chapter 1, I mentioned that there was another component called a standalone server. Let's talk for a few minutes about what this is and how it can be used for developing and executing high-performance machine learning algorithms. The Python library that Microsoft includes with Machine Learning Services is called revoscalepy, and it includes functions that allow script execution to be performed across multiple computers on the network. This distributed compute capacity allows complex machine learning algorithms to be offloaded from the main SQL Server instance and onto separate, dedicated hardware that's running a standalone Machine Learning Server. This arrangement frees up resources for the operation of your SQL Server databases, and keeps a computationally intensive analysis from competing for resources with the database. To take advantage of this, you can install a standalone copy of…
