> MXNet
>
> Apache MXNet is an open-source, scalable, distributed and
high-performance
> deep learning framework that allows you to define, train, and deploy deep
> neural networks on a wide array of devices, from cloud infrastructure to
> mobile devices. It is highly scalable, allowing for fast model training,
> and supports a flexible programming model and multiple languages. Apache
> MXNet allows you to mix symbolic and imperative programming flavors to
> maximize both efficiency and productivity. Apache MXNet is built on a
> dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both
symbolic
> and imperative operations on the fly. A graph optimization layer on top
of
> that makes symbolic execution fast and memory efficient. The Apache MXNet
> library is portable and lightweight, and it scales to multiple GPUs and
> multiple machines.
