For instance, the NYC energy demand data has an hourly frequency. A decision that requires a demand forecast to the hour is unlikely to be made weeks or months in advance, particularly if we expect weather to be a strong determinant of demand.

To use this procedure, you just need to specify the desired number of CV folds in the AutoMLConfig object.

+# Introduction
+SQL Server 2017 or 2019 can call Azure ML automated machine learning to create models trained on data from SQL Server.
+This uses the sp_execute_external_script stored procedure, which can call Python scripts.
+SQL Server 2017 and SQL Server 2019 can both run on Windows or Linux.
+However, this integration is not available for SQL Server 2017 on Linux. 
+
+This folder shows how to setup the integration and has a sample that uses the integration to train and predict based on an energy demand dataset.
+
+This integration is part of SQL Server and so can be used from any SQL client. 
+These instructions show using it from Azure Data Studio or SQL Server Managment Studio.
+
+<a name="azuredatastudiosetup"></a>
+## Setup using Azure Data Studio
+
+These step show setting up the integration using Azure Data Studio.
+
+1. If you don't already have SQL Server, you can install it from [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads)
+1. Install Azure Data Studio from [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/azure-data-studio/download?view=sql-server-2017](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/azure-data-studio/download?view=sql-server-2017)
+1. Start Azure Data Studio and connect to SQL Server. [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/azure-data-studio/sql-notebooks?view=sql-server-2017](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/azure-data-studio/sql-notebooks?view=sql-server-2017)
+1. Create a database named "automl".
+1. Open the notebook how-to-use-azureml\automated-machine-learning\sql-server\setup\auto-ml-sql-setup.ipynb and follow the instructions in it.
+
+ <a name="azuredatastudioenergydemand"></a>
+## Energy demand example using Azure Data Studio
+
+Once you have completed the setup, you can try the energy demand sample in the notebook energy-demand\auto-ml-sql-energy-demand.ipynb.
+This has cells to train a model, predict based on the model and show metrics for each pipeline run in training the model.
+
+<a name="ssms2017"></a>
+## Setup using SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2017 on Windows
+
+These instruction setup the integration for SQL Server 2017 on Windows.
+
+1. If you don't already have SQL Server, you can install it from [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads)
+2. Enable external scripts with the following commands: 
+```sh
+   sp_configure 'external scripts enabled',1 
+   reconfigure with override
+```
+3. Stop SQL Server. 
+4. Install the automated machine learning libraries using the following commands from Administrator command prompt (If you are using a non-default SQL Server instance name, replace MSSQLSERVER in the second command with the instance name)
+```sh
+   cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server"
+   cd "MSSQL14.MSSQLSERVER\PYTHON_SERVICES"
+   python.exe -m pip install azureml-sdk[automl]
+   python.exe -m pip install --upgrade numpy
+   python.exe -m pip install --upgrade sklearn
+```
+5. Start SQL Server and the service "SQL Server Launchpad service". 
+6. In Windows Firewall, click on advanced settings and in Outbound Rules, disable "Block network access for R local user accounts in SQL Server instance xxxx". 
+7. Execute the files in the setup folder in SQL Server Management Studio: aml_model.sql, aml_connection.sql, AutoMLGetMetrics.sql, AutoMLPredict.sql and AutoMLTrain.sql 
+8. Create an Azure Machine Learning Workspace.  You can use the instructions at: [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/how-to-manage-workspace ](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/how-to-manage-workspace)
+9. Create a config.json file file using the subscription id, resource group name and workspace name that you used to create the workspace.  The file is described at: [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/how-to-configure-environment#workspace](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/how-to-configure-environment#workspace)
+10. Create an Azure service principal.  You can do this with the commands: 
+```sh
+   az login 
+   az account set --subscription subscriptionid 
+   az ad sp create-for-rbac --name principlename --password password 
+```
+11. Insert the values \<tenant\>, \<AppId\> and \<password\> returned by create-for-rbac above into the aml_connection table.  Set \<path\> as the absolute path to your config.json file. Set the name to “Default”. 
+ 
+<a name="ssms2019"></a>
+## Setup using SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2019 on Linux
+1. Install SQL Server 2019 from: [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads)
+2. Install machine learning support from: [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-setup-machine-learning?view=sqlallproducts-allversions#ubuntu](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-setup-machine-learning?view=sqlallproducts-allversions#ubuntu)
+3. Then install SQL Server management Studio from [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-2017](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-2017)
+4. Enable external scripts with the following commands: 
+```sh
+   sp_configure 'external scripts enabled',1 
+   reconfigure with override 
+```

+## Energy demand example using SQL Server Management Studio
+
+Once you have completed the setup, you can try the energy demand sample queries.
+First you need to load the sample data in the database.
+1. In SQL Server Management Studio, you can right-click the database, select Tasks, then Import Flat file. 
+1. Select the file MachineLearningNotebooks\notebooks\how-to-use-azureml\automated-machine-learning\forecasting-energy-demand\nyc_energy.csv. 
+1. When you get to the column definition page, allow nulls for all columns. 
+
+You can then run the queries in the energy-demand folder:
+* TrainEnergyDemand.sql runs AutoML, trains multiple models on data and selects the best model.
+* ForecastEnergyDemand.sql forecasts based on the most recent training run.
+* GetMetrics.sql returns all the metrics for each model in the most recent training run.

+# Notebooks for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Hardware Accelerated Models SDK
+
+Easily create and train a model using various deep neural networks (DNNs) as a featurizer for deployment to Azure or a Data Box Edge device for ultra-low latency inferencing using FPGA's. These models are currently available:
+
+* ResNet 50
+* ResNet 152
+* DenseNet-121
+* VGG-16
+* SSD-VGG  
+
+To learn more about the azureml-accel-model classes, see the section [Model Classes](#model-classes) below or the [Azure ML Accel Models SDK documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azureml-accel-models/azureml.accel?view=azure-ml-py).
+
+### Step 1: Create an Azure ML workspace
+Follow [these instructions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/setup-create-workspace) to install the Azure ML SDK on your local machine, create an Azure ML workspace, and set up your notebook environment, which is required for the next step.
+
+### Step 2: Check your FPGA quota
+Use the Azure CLI to check whether you have quota.
+
+```shell
+az vm list-usage --location "eastus" -o table
+```
+
+The other locations are ``southeastasia``, ``westeurope``, and ``westus2``.
+
+Under the "Name" column, look for "Standard PBS Family vCPUs" and ensure you have at least 6 vCPUs under "CurrentValue."
+
+If you do not have quota, then submit a request form [here](https://aka.ms/accelerateAI).
+
+### Step 3: Install the Azure ML Accelerated Models SDK
+Once you have set up your environment, install the Azure ML Accel Models SDK. This package requires tensorflow >= 1.6,<2.0 to be installed. 
+
+If you already have tensorflow >= 1.6,<2.0 installed in your development environment, you can install the SDK package using: 
+
+```
+pip install azureml-accel-models
+```
+
+If you do not have tensorflow >= 1.6,<2.0 and are using a CPU-only development environment, our SDK with tensorflow can be installed using:
+
+```
+pip install azureml-accel-models[cpu]
+```
+
+If your machine supports GPU (for example, on an [Azure DSVM](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/data-science-virtual-machine/overview)), then you can leverage the tensorflow-gpu functionality using:
+
+```
+pip install azureml-accel-models[gpu]
+```
+
+### Step 4: Follow our notebooks
+
+The notebooks in this repo walk through the following scenarios: 
+* [Quickstart](accelerated-models-quickstart.ipynb), deploy and inference a ResNet50 model trained on ImageNet
+* [Object Detection](accelerated-models-object-detection.ipynb), deploy and inference an SSD-VGG model that can do object detection
+* [Training models](accelerated-models-training.ipynb), train one of our accelerated models on the Kaggle Cats and Dogs dataset to see how to improve accuracy on custom datasets
+
+<a name="model-classes"></a>
+## Model Classes
+As stated above, we support 5 Accelerated Models. Here's more information on their input and output tensors.
+
+**Available models and output tensors**
+
+The available models and the corresponding default classifier output tensors are below. This is the value that you would use during inferencing if you used the default classifier.
+* Resnet50, QuantizedResnet50 
+``
+output_tensors = "classifier_1/resnet_v1_50/predictions/Softmax:0"
+``
+* Resnet152, QuantizedResnet152 
+``
+output_tensors = "classifier/resnet_v1_152/predictions/Softmax:0"
+``
+* Densenet121, QuantizedDensenet121
+``
+output_tensors = "classifier/densenet121/predictions/Softmax:0"
+``
+* Vgg16, QuantizedVgg16 
+``
+output_tensors = "classifier/vgg_16/fc8/squeezed:0"
+``
+* SsdVgg, QuantizedSsdVgg
+``
+output_tensors = ['ssd_300_vgg/block4_box/Reshape_1:0', 'ssd_300_vgg/block7_box/Reshape_1:0', 'ssd_300_vgg/block8_box/Reshape_1:0', 'ssd_300_vgg/block9_box/Reshape_1:0', 'ssd_300_vgg/block10_box/Reshape_1:0', 'ssd_300_vgg/block11_box/Reshape_1:0', 'ssd_300_vgg/block4_box/Reshape:0', 'ssd_300_vgg/block7_box/Reshape:0', 'ssd_300_vgg/block8_box/Reshape:0', 'ssd_300_vgg/block9_box/Reshape:0', 'ssd_300_vgg/block10_box/Reshape:0', 'ssd_300_vgg/block11_box/Reshape:0']
+``
+
+For more information, please reference the azureml.accel.models package in the [Azure ML Python SDK documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azureml-accel-models/azureml.accel.models?view=azure-ml-py).
+
+**Input tensors**
+
+The input_tensors value defaults to "Placeholder:0" and is created in the [Image Preprocessing](#construct-model) step in the line: 
+``
+in_images = tf.placeholder(tf.string)
+``
+
+You can change the input_tensors name by doing this: 
+``
+in_images = tf.placeholder(tf.string, name="images")
+``
