<p>Deep learning has a high demand for computing resources. New high-performance devices and computing libraries are appearing very frequently. Deep learning frameworks have to integrate these high-performance devices and computing libraries in a flexible and efficient manner.</p>
<p>On one hand, hardware and computing libraries usually do not have a one-to-one correspondence. For example, Intel CPUs support Eigen and MKL computing libraries while Nvidia GPUs support Eigen and cuDNN computing libraries. We have to implement operator specific kernels for each computing library.</p>

<p>On the other hand, users usually do not want to care about the low-level hardware and computing libraries when writing a neural network configuration. In Fluid, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Layer</span></code> is exposed in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Python</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Operator</span></code> is exposed in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">C++</span></code>. Both <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Layer</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Operator</span></code> are hardware independent.</p>

<p>Generally, we will implement OpKernel for all Device/Library of an Operator. We can easily train a Convolutional Neural Network in GPU. However, some OpKernel is not suitable on a specific Device. For example, crf operator can only run on CPU, whereas most other operators can run on GPU. To achieve high performance in such circumstance, we have to switch between different Device/Library.</p>
