It is easy to configure complex models such as - neural machine translation model with attention mechanism or complex memory - connection. +## FOUR LEADING TECHNOLOGIES -- **Efficiency** +- **Agile Framework for Industrial Development of Deep Neural Networks** - In order to unleash the power of heterogeneous computing resource, - optimization occurs at different levels of PaddlePaddle, including - computing, memory, architecture and communication. The following are some - examples: + The PaddlePaddle deep learning framework facilitates the development while lowering the technical burden,through leveraging a programmable scheme to architect the neural networks. It supports both declarative programming and imperative programming with both development flexibility and high runtime performance preserved. The neural architectures could be automatically designed by algorithms with better performance than the ones designed by human experts. - - Optimized math operations through SSE/AVX intrinsics, BLAS libraries - (e.g. MKL, OpenBLAS, cuBLAS) or customized CPU/GPU kernels. - - Optimized CNN networks through MKL-DNN library. - - Highly optimized recurrent networks which can handle **variable-length** - sequence without padding. - - Optimized local and distributed training for models with high dimensional - sparse data. -- **Scalability** +- **Support Ultra-Large-Scale Training of Deep Neural Networks** - With PaddlePaddle, it is easy to use many CPUs/GPUs and machines to speed - up your training. PaddlePaddle can achieve high throughput and performance - via optimized communication. + PaddlePaddle has made breakthroughs in ultra-large-scale deep neural networks training. It launched the world's first large-scale open source training platform that supports the deep networks training with 100 billions of features and trillions of parameters using data sources distributed over hundreds of nodes. PaddlePaddle overcomes the online deep learning challenges for ultra-large-scale deep learning models, and further achieved the real-time model updating with more than 1 trillion parameters. + [Click here to learn more](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Fleet) -- **Connected to Products** - In addition, PaddlePaddle is also designed to be easily deployable. At Baidu, - PaddlePaddle has been deployed into products and services with a vast number - of users, including ad click-through rate (CTR) prediction, large-scale image - classification, optical character recognition(OCR), search ranking, computer - virus detection, recommendation, etc. It is widely utilized in products at - Baidu and it has achieved a significant impact. We hope you can also explore - the capability of PaddlePaddle to make an impact on your product. +- **Accelerated High-Performance Inference over Ubiquitous Deployments** -## Installation + PaddlePaddle is not only compatible with other open-source frameworks for models training, but also works well on the ubiquitous developments, varying from platforms to devices. More specific, PaddlePaddle accelerates the inference procedure with fastest speed-up. Note that, a recent breakthrough of inference speed has been made by PaddlePaddle on Huawei's Kirin NPU, through the hardware/software co-optimization. + [Click here to learn more](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle-Lite) + + +- **Industry-Oriented Models and Libraries with Open Source Repositories** -It is recommended to read [this doc](http://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/documentation/docs/en/1.6/beginners_guide/index_en.html) on our website. + PaddlePaddle includes and maintains more than 100 mainstream models that have been practiced and polished for a long time in industry.
