Use different clusters
======================

PaddlePaddle supports running jobs on several platforms including:
- `Kubernetes <http://kubernetes.io>`_ open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications from Google.
- `OpenMPI <https://www.open-mpi.org>`_ Mature high performance parallel computing framework.
- `Fabric <http://www.fabfile.org>`_ A cluster management tool. Write scripts to submit jobs or manage the cluster.

We'll introduce cluster job management on these platforms. The examples can be found under `cluster_train_v2 <https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/tree/develop/paddle/scripts/cluster_train_v2>`_ .

These cluster platforms provide API or environment variables for training processes, when the job is dispatched to different nodes. Like node ID, IP or total number of nodes etc.
