<p>In both examples, the left branch computes <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">x+y</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">softmax(x+y)</span></code>, the right branch computes <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">fc(x)</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">x+1</span></code> .</p>
<p>The difference is that variables in the C++ program contain scalar values, whereas those in the PaddlePaddle programs are mini-batches of instances.</p>

<p>Like TensorFlow, a PaddlePaddle program is written in Python. The first part describes a neural network as a protobuf message, and the rest executes the message for training or inference.</p>
<p>The generation of this protobuf message is similar to how a compiler generates a binary executable file. The execution of the message is similar to how the OS executes the binary file.</p>
