Description

It would be great if we could get some documentation for using the intel optimizations for tensorflow in R.

The first step in getting this working is to get reticulate to point to a conda environment that has the intel ai toolkit (and corresponding versions of tensorflow installed), but I believe that's not sufficient. How might we change, from R, the settings described (here, here, here, and here)?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to configure Intel optimizations for TensorFlow in R using reticulate and conda environments. Look at existing Intel documentation and the TensorFlow for R package to document the steps.
