Apache MXNet for Deep Learning
===========================================
         

Apache MXNet is a deep learning framework designed for both efficiency and flexibility.
It allows you to mix symbolic and imperative programming
to maximize efficiency and productivity.
At its core, MXNet contains 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.
MXNet is portable and lightweight, scalable to many GPUs and machines.

Apache MXNet is more than a deep learning project. It is a community
on a mission of democratizing AI. It is a collection of blue prints and guidelines
for building deep learning systems, and interesting insights of DL systems for hackers.

| Branch  | Build Status  |
|:-------:|:-------------:|
| master |                |
| v1.x |                |

Features
--------
 NumPy-like programming interface, and is integrated with the new, easy-to-use Gluon 2.0 interface. NumPy users can easily adopt MXNet and start in deep learning.
 Automatic hybridization provides imperative programming with the performance of traditional symbolic programming.
 Lightweight, memory-efficient, and portable to smart devices through native cross-compilation support on ARM, and through ecosystem projects such as TVM, TensorRT, OpenVINO.
 Scales up to multi GPUs and distributed setting with auto parallelism through ps-lite, Horovod, and BytePS.
 Extensible backend that supports full customization, allowing integration with custom accelerator libraries and in-house hardware without the need to maintain a fork.
 Support for Python, Java, C++, R, Scala, Clojure, Go, Javascript, Perl, and Julia.
 Cloud-friendly and directly compatible with AWS and Azure.
