+# Contribute Code
+
+We sincerely appreciate your contribution.  This document explains our workflow and work style.
+
+## Workflow
+
+PaddlePaddle uses this [Git branching model](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/).  The following steps guide usual contributions.
+
+1. Fork
+
+   Our development community has been growing fastly; it doesn't make sense for everyone to write into the official repo.  So, please file Pull Requests from your fork.  To make a fork,  just head over to the GitHub page and click the ["Fork" button](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/).
+
+1. Clone
+
+   To make a copy of your fork to your local computers, please run
+
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/your-github-account/paddle
+   cd paddle
+   ```
+
+1. Create the local feature branch
+
+   For daily works like adding a new feature or fixing a bug, please open your feature branch before coding:
+
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b my-cool-stuff
+   ```
+
+1. Commit
+
+   Before issuing your first `git commit` command, please install [`pre-commit`](http://pre-commit.com/) by running the following commands:
+
+   ```bash
+   pip install pre-commit
+   pre-commit install
+   ```
+
+   Our pre-commit configuration requires clang-format 3.8 for auto-formating C/C++ code and yapf for Python.
+
+   Once installed, `pre-commit` checks the style of code and documentation in every commit.  We will see something like the following when you run `git commit`:
+
+   ```
+   ➜  git commit
+   CRLF end-lines remover...............................(no files to check)Skipped
+   yapf.................................................(no files to check)Skipped
+   Check for added large files..............................................Passed
+   Check for merge conflicts................................................Passed
+   Check for broken symlinks................................................Passed
+   Detect Private Key...................................(no files to check)Skipped
+   Fix End of Files.....................................(no files to check)Skipped
+   clang-formater.......................................(no files to check)Skipped
+   [my-cool-stuff c703c041] add test file
+    1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
+    create mode 100644 233
+   ```
+
+1. Build and test
+
+   Users can build PaddlePaddle natively on Linux and Mac OS X.  But to unify the building environment and to make it easy for debugging, the recommended way is [using Docker](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/howto/dev/build_en.md).
+
+1. Keep pulling
+
+   An experienced Git user pulls from the official repo often -- daily or even hourly, so they notice conflicts with others work early, and it's easier to resolve smaller conflicts.
+
+   ```bash
+   git remote add upstream https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle
+   git pull upstream develop
+   ```
+
+1. Push and file a pull request
+
+   You can "push" your local work into your forked repo:
+
+   ```bash
+   git push origin my-cool-stuff
+   ```
+
+   The push allows you to create a pull request, requesting owners of this [official repo](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle) to pull your change into the official one.
+
+   To create a pull request, please follow [these steps](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request/).
+
+   If your change is for fixing an issue, please write ["Fixes <issue-URL>"](https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-using-keywords/) in the description section of your pull request.  Github would close the issue when the owners merge your pull request.
+
+   Please remember to specify some reviewers for your pull request.  If you don't know who are the right ones, please follow Github's recommendation.
+
+
+1. Delete local and remote branches
+
+   To keep your local workspace and your fork clean, you might want to remove merged branches:
+
+   ```bash
+   git push origin :my-cool-stuff
+   git checkout develop
+   git pull upstream develop
+   git branch -d my-cool-stuff
+   ```
+
+### Code Review
+
+-  Please feel free to ping your reviewers by sending them the URL of your pull request via IM or email.  Please do this after your pull request passes the CI.
+
+- Please answer reviewers' every comment.  If you are to follow the comment, please write "Done"; please give a reason otherwise.
+
+- If you don't want your reviewers to get overwhelmed by email notifications, you might reply their comments by [in a batch](https://help.github.com/articles/reviewing-proposed-changes-in-a-pull-request/).
+
+- Reduce the unnecessary commits.  Some developers commit often.  It is recommended to append a sequence of small changes into one commit by running `git commit --amend` instead of `git commit`.
+
+
+## Coding Standard
+
+### Code Style
+
+Our C/C++ code follows the [Google style guide](http://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html).
+
+Our Python code follows the [PEP8 style guide](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/).
+
+Our build process helps to check the code style.  In [`build.sh`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/b84e8226514b8bb4405c3c28e54aa5077193d179/paddle/scripts/docker/build.sh#L42), the entry point of our [builder Docker image](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/b84e8226514b8bb4405c3c28e54aa5077193d179/Dockerfile#L88), the CMake argument `WITH_STYLE_CHECK` is set to `ON` by default.  This flag is on
+
+Please install pre-commit, which automatically reformat the changes to C/C++ and Python code whenever we run `git commit`.  To check the whole codebase, we can run the command `pre-commit run -a`, as in the [`check_style.sh` file](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/b84e8226514b8bb4405c3c28e54aa5077193d179/paddle/scripts/travis/check_style.sh#L30), which is invoked by [our Travis CI configuration](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/b84e8226514b8bb4405c3c28e54aa5077193d179/.travis.yml#L43).
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+Please remember to add related unit tests.
+
+- For C/C++ code, please follow [`google-test` Primer](https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/master/googletest/docs/Primer.md).
+
+- For Python code, please use [Python's standard `unittest` package](http://pythontesting.net/framework/unittest/unittest-introduction/).
+
+
+### Writing Logs
+
+We use [glog](https://github.com/google/glog) for logging in our C/C++ code.
+
+For general information, please use `LOG`.  For debug information, please use [`VLOG`](http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/google/glog/blob/master/doc/glog.html#verbose).  The reason is at [here](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/chromium-dev/3NDNd1KzXeY/AZKMMx37fdQJ).
+
+`VLOG` requires a *verbose level* parameter.  For example:
+
+```c++
+VLOG(3) << "Operator FC is taking " << num_inputs << "inputs."
+```
+
+When we run a PaddlePaddle application or test, we can specify a verbose threshold.  For example:
+
+```bash
+GLOG_vmodule=buddy_allocator=2 \
+GLOG_v=10 \
+python \
+../python/paddle/v2/framework/tests/test_recurrent_op.py
+```
+
+This will enable VLOG messages generated by `buddy_allocator.{h,cc}` and in the verbose range of 0 to 3, so you will see above example VLOG message, which is in level 3.  This suggests that we output overall messages in lower verbose levels, so they display with higher probability.  When coding C++, please follow the verbose level convention as follows:
+
+- verbose level 1: [framework](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/tree/develop/paddle/framework)
+- verbose level 3: [operators](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/tree/develop/paddle/operators)
+- verbose level 5: [memory](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/tree/develop/paddle/memory), [platform](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/tree/develop/paddle/platform)
+- verbose level 7: [math](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/tree/develop/paddle/math)

+# Averaging Parameter in PaddlePaddle
+
+## Why Averaging
+In a large scale machine learning setup where the size of the training data is huge, it could take us a large number of iterations over the training data before we can achieve the optimal values of parameters of our model. Looking at the problem setup, it is desirable if we can obtain the optimal values of parameters by going through the data in as few passes as we can.
+
+Polyak and Juditsky (1992) showed that the test performance of simple average of parameters obtained by Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is as good as that of parameter values that are obtained by training the model over and over again, over the training dataset.
+
+Hence, to accelerate the speed of Stochastic Gradient Descent, Averaged Stochastic Gradient Descent (ASGD) was proposed in Polyak and Juditsky (1992). For ASGD, the running average of parameters obtained by SGD, is used as the estimator for <img src="./images/theta_star.gif"/><br/> . The averaging is done as follows:
+
+<img src="./images/asgd.gif" align="center"/><br/>
+
+We propose averaging for any optimizer similar to how ASGD performs it, as mentioned above.
+
+### How to perform Parameter Averaging in PaddlePaddle
+
+Parameter Averaging in PaddlePaddle works in the following way during training :
+1. It will take in an instance of a normal optimizer as an input, e.g. RMSPropOptimizer
+2. The optimizer itself is responsible for updating the parameters.
+3. The ParameterAverageOptimizer maintains a separate copy of the parameters for itself:
+    1. In concept, the values of this copy are the average of the values of the parameters in the most recent N batches.
+    2. However, saving all the N instances of the parameters in memory is not feasible.
+    3. Therefore, an approximation algorithm is used.
+
+Hence, overall we have have two copies of the parameters: one for the optimizer itself, and one for the ParameterAverageOptimizer. The former should be used in back propagation, while the latter should be used during testing and should be saved.
+
+During the testing/ saving the model phase, we perform the following steps:
+1. Perform the delayed operations.
+2. Save current values of the parameters to a temporary variable.
+3. Replace the values of the parameters with the averaged values.
+4. Perform testing and/or save the parameters.
+5. Restore the values of the parameters once done.
+
+### How to implement Averaging of Parameter in PaddlePaddle
+
+We can add the ParameterAverageOptimizer op to the graph through Python API. Using this approach, we manually add this op to the graph and direct the output of the optimizer op to this op during training.
+
+	**Advantages**:
+    - Allows for greater flexibility to the users of PaddlePaddle. Using this approach, the users can plug different optimizers into ParameterAverageOptimizer by passing in the optimizer to the op.
+    - Makes it easy for the users to customize and extend the framework.
+
+	**Disadvantages**:
+    - Implementation requires re-writing the averaging methodology in Python.  
+
+### Low-Level implementation
+
+In the new design, we propose to create a new operation for averaging parameter updates (ParameterAverageOptimizer). For now, we can add an op that takes in the following as input:
+- the optimizer
+- the window_size to keep the updates
+
+The ParameterAverageOptimizer op can be like any other operator with its own CPU/GPU implementation either using Eigen or separate CPU and GPU kernels. As the initial implementation, we can implement the kernel using Eigen following the abstraction pattern implemented for [Operators](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/operators/rmsprop_op.h). We also want to support the case when the Trainer/Optimizer runs on the GPU while ParameterAverageOptimizer runs on a CPU.
+
+The idea of building an op for averaging is in sync with the refactored PaddlePaddle philosophy of using operators to represent any computation unit. The way the op will be added to the computation graph will be decided by the [layer functions](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/python_api.md#layer-function) in Python API.
+
+### Python API implementation for ParameterAverageOptimizer
+
+Based on Polyak and Juditsky (1992), we can generalize the averaging of updates to any optimizer. The input to the op would be the following:
+- Any optimizer (RMSProp , AdaGrad etc.)
+- A window size. The op keeps accumulating updated parameter values over a window of N batches and takes an average. Move the averaged value to a buffer when window is full to avoid loss of precision.
+
+Using the ParameterAverageOptimizer op, any user can add the operation to their computation graphs. However, this will require a lot of lines of code and we should design Python APIs that support averaging. As per the PaddlePaddle [Python API design](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/python_api.md), the layer functions are responsible for creating operators, operator parameters and variables. Since ParameterAverageOptimizer will be an operator, it makes sense to create it in the layer functions.
+We will have a wrapper written in Python that will support the functionality and implement the actual core computation in C++ core as we have done for other [Optimizers](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/operators/rmsprop_op.cc)
+
+#### Creation of the ParameterAverageOptimizer operator
+There are two ways for creating the ParameterAverageOptimizer op:
+1. We create the op immediately while building the computation graph.
+2. We add the op in a lazy manner, just before the backward pass, similar to the way the optimization ops are added.
+
+The proposal is to add the op immediately while building the computation graph.
+
+#### High-level API
+
+In PaddlePaddle Python API, users will primarily rely on [layer functions](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/python_api.md#layer-function) to create neural network layers. Hence, we also need to provide parameter average functionality in layer functions.

doc/howto/cross_compiling/cross_compiling_for_android.md

+# Build PaddlePaddle for Android
+
+There are two approaches to build PaddlePaddle for Android: using Docker and on Linux without Docker. 
+
+## Cross-Compiling Using Docker
+
+Docker-based cross-compiling is the recommended approach because Docker runs on all major operating systems, including Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.
+
+### Build the Docker Image
+
+The following steps pack all the tools that we need to build PaddlePaddle into a Docker image.
+
+```bash
+$ git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle.git
+$ cd Paddle
+$ docker build -t paddle:dev-android . -f Dockerfile.android
+```
+
+### Build the Inference Library
+
+We can run the Docker image we just created to build the inference library of PaddlePaddle for Android using the command below:
+
+```bash
+$ docker run -it --rm -v $PWD:/paddle -e "ANDROID_ABI=armeabi-v7a" -e "ANDROID_API=21" paddle:dev-android
+```
+
+The Docker image accepts two arguments `ANDROID_ABI` and `ANDROID_API`:
+
+| Argument        | Optional Values         | Default |
+|-----------------|-------------------------|---------|
+|`ANDROID_ABI`    |`armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a` | `armeabi-v7a` |
+|`ANDROID_API`    |`>= 21` | `21` |
+
+The ARM-64 architecture (`arm64-v8a`) requires at least level 21 of Android API.
+
+The default entry-point of the Docker image, [`paddle/scripts/docker/build_android.sh`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/scripts/docker/build_android.sh) generates the [Android cross-compiling standalone toolchain](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/standalone_toolchain.html) based on the argument: `ANDROID_ABI` or `ANDROID_API`.  For information about other configuration arguments, please continue reading.
+
+The above command generates and outputs the inference library in `$PWD/install_android` and puts third-party libraries in `$PWD/install_android/third_party`.
+
+## Cross-Compiling on Linux
+
+The Linux-base approach to cross-compile is to run steps in `Dockerfile.android` manually on a Linux x64 computer.
+
+### Setup the Environment
+
+To build for Android's, we need [Android NDK](
+https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/index.html):
+
+```bash
+wget -q https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r14b-linux-x86_64.zip
+unzip -q android-ndk-r14b-linux-x86_64.zip
+```
+
+Android NDK includes everything we need to build the [*standalone toolchain*](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/standalone_toolchain.html), which in then used to build PaddlePaddle for Android.  (We plan to remove the intermediate stage of building the standalone toolchain in the near future.)
+
+- To build the standalone toolchain for `armeabi-v7a` and Android API level 21:
+
+  ```bash
+  your/path/to/android-ndk-r14b-linux-x86_64/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh \
+          --arch=arm --platform=android-21 --install-dir=your/path/to/arm_standalone_toolchain
+  ```
+  
+  The generated standalone toolchain will be in `your/path/to/arm_standalone_toolchain`.
+
+- To build the standalone toolchain for `arm64-v8a` and Android API level 21:
+
+  ```bash
+  your/path/to/android-ndk-r14b-linux-x86_64/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh \
+          --arch=arm64 --platform=android-21 --install-dir=your/path/to/arm64_standalone_toolchain
+  ```
+
+  The generated standalone toolchain will be in `your/path/to/arm64_standalone_toolchain`.
+
+**Please be aware that the minimum level of Android API required by PaddlePaddle is 21.**
+
+### Cross-Compiling Arguments
+
+CMake supports [choosing the toolchain](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html#cross-compiling).  PaddlePaddle provides [`android.cmake`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/cmake/cross_compiling/android.cmake), which configures the Android cross-compiling toolchain for CMake.  `android.cmake` is not required for CMake >= 3.7, which support Android cross-compiling. PaddlePaddle detects the CMake version, for those newer than 3.7, it uses [the official version](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.7/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html#cross-compiling).
+
+Some other CMake arguments you need to know:
+
+- `CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME` must be `Android`.  This tells PaddlePaddle's CMake system to cross-compile third-party dependencies.  This also changes some other CMake arguments like `WITH_GPU=OFF`, `WITH_AVX=OFF`, `WITH_PYTHON=OFF`, and `WITH_RDMA=OFF`.
+- `WITH_C_API` must be `ON`, to build the C-based inference library for Android.
+- `WITH_SWIG_PY` must be `OFF` because the Android platform doesn't support SWIG-based API.
+
+Some Android-specific arguments:
+
+- `ANDROID_STANDALONE_TOOLCHAIN`: the absolute path of the Android standalone toolchain, or the path relative to the CMake build directory.  PaddlePaddle's CMake extensions would derive the cross-compiler, sysroot and Android API level from this argument.
+- `ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN`: could be `gcc` or `clang`.  The default value is `clang`.
+  - For CMake >= 3.7, it should anyway be `clang`.  For older versions, it could be `gcc`.
+  - Android's official `clang` requires `glibc` >= 2.15.
+- `ANDROID_ABI`: could be `armeabi-v7a` or `arm64-v8a`.  The default value is `armeabi-v7a`.
+- `ANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL`: could be derived from the value of `ANDROID_STANDALONE_TOOLCHAIN`.
+- `ANROID_ARM_MODE`:
+  - could be `ON` or `OFF`, and defaults to `ON`, when `ANDROID_ABI=armeabi-v7a`;
+  - no need to specify when `ANDROID_ABI=arm64-v8a`.
+- `ANDROID_ARM_NEON`: indicates if to use NEON instructions.
+  - could be `ON` or `OFF`, and defaults to `ON`, when `ANDROID_ABI=armeabi-v7a`;
+  - no need to specify when `ANDROID_ABI=arm64-v8a`.
+
+Other useful arguments:
+
+- `USE_EIGEN_FOR_BLAS`: indicates if using Eigen.  Could be `ON` or `OFF`, defaults to `OFF`.
+- `HOST_C/CXX_COMPILER`: specifies the host compiler, which is used to build the host-specific protoc and target-specific OpenBLAS.  It defaults to the value of the environment variable `CC`, or `cc`.
+
+Some frequent configurations for your reference:
+
+```bash
+cmake -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Android \
+      -DANDROID_STANDALONE_TOOLCHAIN=your/path/to/arm_standalone_toolchain \
+      -DANDROID_ABI=armeabi-v7a \
+      -DANDROID_ARM_NEON=ON \
+      -DANDROID_ARM_MODE=ON \
+      -DUSE_EIGEN_FOR_BLAS=ON \
+      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=your/path/to/install \
+      -DWITH_C_API=ON \
+      -DWITH_SWIG_PY=OFF \
+      ..
+```
+
+```
+cmake -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Android \
+      -DANDROID_STANDALONE_TOOLCHAIN=your/path/to/arm64_standalone_toolchain \
+      -DANDROID_ABI=arm64-v8a \
+      -DUSE_EIGEN_FOR_BLAS=OFF \
+      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=your/path/to/install \
+      -DWITH_C_API=ON \
+      -DWITH_SWIG_PY=OFF \
+      ..
+```
+
+
+There are some other arguments you might want to configure.
+
+- `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel` minimizes the size of library.
+- `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE-Release` optimizes the runtime performance.
+
+Our own tip for performance optimization to use clang and Eigen or OpenBLAS:
+- `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`
+- `ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN=clang`
+- `USE_EIGEN_BLAS=ON` for `armeabi-v7a`, or `USE_EIGEN_FOR_BLAS=OFF` for `arm64-v8a`.
+
+### Build and Install
+
+After running `cmake`, we can run `make; make install` to build and install.
+
+Before building, you might want to remove the `third_party` and `build` directories including pre-built libraries for other architectures.
+
+After building，in the directory `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`, you will find three sub-directories:
+
+- `include`: the header file of the inference library,
+- `lib`: the inference library built for various Android ABIs,

+# 构建iOS平台上的PaddlePaddle库
+交叉编译iOS平台上适用的PaddlePaddle库，需要在MacOS系统上进行。本文的将介绍在MacOS上，从源码交叉编译iOS平台上适用的PaddlePaddle库。
+
+## 准备交叉编译环境
+Apple官方为iOS开发提供了完整的交叉编译工具和集成开发环境，用户从App Store下载安装Xcode即可。也可自行前往官网下载，[Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/cn/xcode/)。安装完成之后，可在命令行执行`xcodebuild -version`，判断是否安装成功。
+
+```bash
+$ xcodebuild -version
+Xcode 9.0
+Build version 9A235
+```
+
+## 配置交叉编译参数
+
+PaddlePaddle为交叉编译提供了工具链配置文档[cmake/cross_compiling/ios.cmake](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/cmake/cross_compiling/ios.cmake)，以提供一些默认的编译器和编译参数配置。
+
+交叉编译iOS版本的PaddlePaddle库时，有一些必须配置的参数：
+
+- `CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME`，CMake编译的目标平台，必须设置为`iOS`。在设置`CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=iOS`后，PaddlePaddle的CMake系统会自动编译所有的第三方依赖库，并且强制设置一些PaddlePaddle参数的值（`WITH_C_API=ON`、`WITH_GPU=OFF`、`WITH_AVX=OFF`、`WITH_PYTHON=OFF`、`WITH_RDMA=OFF`）。
+- `WITH_C_API`，是否编译C-API预测库，必须设置为ON。在iOS平台上只支持使用C-API来预测。
+- `WITH_SWIG_PY`，必须设置为ON。在iOS平台上不支持通过swig调用来训练或者预测。
+
+iOS平台可选配置参数：
+
+- `IOS_PLATFORM`，可设置为`OS/SIMULATOR`，默认值为`OS`。
+  - `OS`，构建目标为`arm`架构的iPhone或者iPad等物理设备。
+  - `SIMULATOR`，构建目标为`x86`架构的模拟器平台。
+- `IOS_ARCH`，目标架构。针对不同的`IOS_PLATFORM`，可设置的目标架构如下表所示：
+
+   | IOS_PLATFORM | IOS_ARCH             |
+   |--------------|----------------------|
+   |   OS         | armv7, armv7s, arm64 (默认) |
+   | SIMULATOR    | i386, x86_64 (默认)         |   
+
+- `IOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET`，最小的iOS部署版本，默认值为`7.0`。
+- `IOS_ENABLE_BITCODE`，是否使能[Bitcode](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/AppThinning/AppThinning.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012582-CH35-SW3)，可设置`ON/OFF`，默认值为`ON`。
+- `IOS_USE_VECLIB_FOR_BLAS`，是否使用[vecLib](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/accelerate/veclib)框架进行BLAS矩阵计算，可设置`ON/OFF`，默认值为`OFF`。
+- `IOS_DEVELOPMENT_ROOT`，`Developer`目录，可显式指定为`/path/to/platform/Developer`。若未显式指定，PaddlePaddle将会根据`IOS_PLATFORM`自动选择`Xcode`对应`platform`的`Developer`目录。
+- `IOS_SDK_ROOT`，所使用`SDK`的根目录，可显式指定为`/path/to/platform/Developer/SDKs/SDK`。若未显式指定，PaddlePaddle将会自动选择`IOS_DEVELOPMENT_ROOT`目录下最新的`SDK`版本。
+
+其他配置参数：
+
+- `USE_EIGEN_FOR_BLAS`，是否使用Eigen库进行矩阵计算，在`IOS_USE_VECLIB_FOR_BLAS=OFF`时有效。可设置`ON/OFF`，默认值为`OFF`。
+- `HOST_C/CXX_COMPILER`，宿主机的C/C++编译器。默认值为环境变量`CC/CXX`的值；若环境变量`CC/CXX`未设置，则使用`cc/c++`编译器。
+
+常用的cmake配置如下：
+
+```bash
+cmake -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=iOS \
+      -DIOS_PLATFORM=OS \
+      -DIOS_ARCH="arm64" \
+      -DIOS_ENABLE_BITCODE=ON \
+      -DIOS_USE_VECLIB_FOR_BLAS=ON \
+      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=your/path/to/install \
+      -DWITH_C_API=ON \
+      -DWITH_TESTING=OFF \
+      -DWITH_SWIG_PY=OFF \
+      ..
+```
+
+```bash
+cmake -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=iOS \
+      -DIOS_PLATFORM=SIMULATOR \
+      -DIOS_ARCH="x86_64" \
+      -DIOS_USE_VECLIB_FOR_BLAS=ON \
+      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=your/path/to/install \
+      -DWITH_C_API=ON \
+      -DWITH_TESTING=OFF \
+      -DWITH_SWIG_PY=OFF \
+      ..
+```
+
+用户还可根据自己的需求设置其他编译参数。比如希望最小化生成库的大小，可以设置`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`为`MinSizeRel`；若希望得到最快的执行速度，则可设置`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`为`Release`。亦可以通过手动设置`CMAKE_C/CXX_FLAGS`来影响PaddlePaddle的编译过程。
+
+**性能TIPS**，为了达到最快的计算速度，在CMake参数配置上，有以下建议：
+
+- 设置`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`为`Release`
+- 设置`IOS_USE_VECLIB_FOR_BLAS=ON`，调用`vecLib`框架提供的BLAS函数进行矩阵计算。
+
+## 编译和安装
+
+CMake配置完成后，执行以下命令，PaddlePaddle将自动下载和编译所有第三方依赖库、编译和安装PaddlePaddle预测库。
+
+```
+$ make
+$ make install
+```
+
+注意：如果你曾在源码目录下编译过其他平台的PaddlePaddle库，请先使用`rm -rf`命令删除`third_party`目录和`build`目录，以确保所有的第三方依赖库和PaddlePaddle代码都是针对新的CMake配置重新编译的。
+
+执行完安装命令后，`your/path/to/install`目录中会包含以下内容：
+
+- `include`目录，其中包含所有C-API的头文件
+- `lib`目录，其中包含PaddlePaddle的C-API静态库
+- `third_party`目录，其中包含所依赖的所有第三方库
+
+注意，不同架构的PaddlePaddle库建议安装到不同的目录下，然后使用`lipo`工具将多个静态库合并成一个支持多个架构的fat库。
+
+自此，PaddlePaddle库已经安装完成，用户可将合成的fat库用于深度学习相关的iOS App中，调用方法见C-API文档。

+# Build PaddlePaddle for Raspberry Pi
+
+You may use any of the following two approaches to build the inference library of PaddlePaddle for Raspberry Pi:
+
+1. Build using SSH: Log in to a Raspberry Pi using SSH and build the library. The required development tools and third-party dependencies are listed in here: [`/Dockerfile`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/Dockerfile).
+
+1. Cross-compile: We talk about how to cross-compile PaddlePaddle for Raspberry Pi on a Linux/x64 machine, in more detail in this article.
+
+## The Cross-Compiling Toolchain
+
+Step 1. Clone the Github repo by running the following command.
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools.git
+```
+
+Step 2. Use the pre-built cross-compiler found in `./tools/tree/master/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64`.  To run it on a Linux computer, glibc version >= 2.14 is needed.
+
+## CMake Arguments
+
+CMake supports [cross-compiling](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html#cross-compiling).  All CMake configuration arguments required for the cross-compilation for Raspberry Pi can be found in [`cmake/cross_compiling/raspberry_pi.cmake`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/cmake/cross_compiling/raspberry_pi.cmake).
+
+Some important arguments that need to be set:
+
+- `CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME`: The target platform.  Must be `RPi`.
+
+- `RPI_TOOLCHAIN`: The absolute path of the cross-compiling toolchain.
+
+- `RPI_ARM_NEON`: Use ARM NEON Intrinsics. This is a required argument and set default to `ON`.
+
+- `HOST_C/CXX_COMPILER`: The C/C++ compiler for the host.  It is used to build building tools running on the host, for example, protoc.
+
+A commonly-used CMake configuration is as follows:
+
+```
+cmake -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=RPi \
+      -DRPI_TOOLCHAIN=your/path/to/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64 \
+      -DRPI_ARM_NEON=ON \
+      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=your/path/to/install \
+      -DWITH_GPU=OFF \
+      -DWITH_C_API=ON \
+      -DWITH_PYTHON=OFF \
+      -DWITH_SWIG_PY=OFF \
+      ..
+```
+
+To build the inference library, please set the argument WITH\_C\_API to ON: `WITH_C_API=ON`.
+
+You can add more arguments. For example, to minimize the size of the generated inference library, you may use `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel`. For performance optimization, you may use `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`.
+
+## Build and Install
+
+The following commands build the inference library of PaddlePaddle for Raspberry Pi and third-party dependencies.
+
+```bash
+make
+make install
+```
+
+ The intermediate files will be stored in `build`. Third-party libraries will be located in `build/third_party`. If you have already built it for other platforms like Android or iOS, you may want to clear these directories by running the command: `rm -rf build`.
+
+The infernece library will be in `your/path/to/install/lib`, with related header files in `your/path/to/install/include`.

-# Contribute Code
-
-We sincerely appreciate your contributions. You can use fork and pull request
-workflow to merge your code.
-
-## Code Requirements
-- Your code comments must be fully documented by
-  [Doxygen](http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/) style.
-- Make sure the compiler option `WITH_STYLE_CHECK` is on and the compiler
-  passes the code style check.
-- All code must have unit test.
-- Pass all unit tests.
-
-The following tutorial guides you into submitting your contibution.
-
-## [Creating a Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/)
-
-Just head over to the GitHub page and click the "Fork" button.
-It's just that simple.
-
-## Clone
-
-Clone remote repository.
-
-```bash
-➜  git clone https://github.com/USERNAME/Paddle
-➜  cd Paddle
-```
-
-## Create a local branch
-
-Paddle is currently using [Git-flow branching model](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/).
-
-All feature and bug fix development work should be done on a new branch, generally create new branch from `develop` branch .
-
-```bash
-➜  git checkout -b my-cool-stuff
-```
-
-Before the checkout, you need to keep the current branch directory clean, otherwise the untracked file will be brought to the new branch, which can be inspected by `git status`.
-
-## Using `pre-commit` hook
-
-Paddle developers use [pre-commit](http://pre-commit.com/) tool to manage git
-pre-commit hooks. It can help us format source codes (cpp, python), check some
-basic thing before commit (only one EOL for each file, do not add a huge file
-in git). `pre-commit` tests is a part of unit tests in Travis-CI now, every
-PR doesn't fit hook can not be merged into Paddle.
-
-To use [pre-commit](http://pre-commit.com/), you should install it by
-`pip install pre-commit`, and currently, Paddle uses `clang-format` to format
-c/cpp sources. Please make sure clang-format 3.8+ installed.
-
-Install and run it as follow:
-
-```bash
-➜  pip install pre-commit
-➜  pre-commit install
-```
-
-When you commit your code, the pre-commit hook will check the local code if there is
-anything not suitable to commit, and so on.
-
-## Start to develop
-
-In this tutorial, I delete a line in README.md and created a new file.
-
-We can use `git status` to inspect the changes of current directory, `git diff` to see difference.
-
-```bash
-➜  git status
-On branch test
-Changes not staged for commit:
-  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
-  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
-
-	modified:   README.md
-
-Untracked files:
-  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
-
-	test
-
-no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
-```
-## Build and Test
-
-We package PaddlePaddle's compile environment into a Docker image, called the develop image named `paddle:dev`, it contains all compiling tools that PaddlePaddle needs. 
-
-If you want to build the develop image, just run:
-
-```bash
-➜  docker build -t paddle:dev .
-```
-
-Then we can use the develop image to build PaddlePaddle source. For example:
-
-```bash
-➜  docker run -v $(pwd):/paddle -e "WITH_GPU=OFF" -e "WITH_AVX=ON" -e "WITH_TEST=ON" paddle:dev
-```
-
-The above command will compile PaddlePaddle and create a Dockerfile for building production image. All the generated files are in the build directory. "WITH_GPU" controls if the generated production image supports GPU. "WITH_AVX" controls if the generated production image supports AVX. "WITH_TEST" controls if the unit test will be generated.
-
-Then we can generate the production image by copying the compiled PaddlePaddle program into the image by
-
-```bash
-➜  docker build -t paddle:prod -f build/Dockerfile .
-```
-
-Run unit test finally:
-
-```bash
-➜  docker run -it -v $(pwd):/paddle paddle:dev bash -c "cd /paddle/build && ctest"
-```
-
-For more details, you can read [this doc](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/getstarted/build_and_install/docker_install_en.rst).
-
-## Commit
-
-Next we cancel the changes to the README.md file and then commit our changes by following command lines:
-
-```bash
-➜  git checkout -- README.md
-➜  git status
-On branch test
-Untracked files:
-  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
-
-	test
-
-nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
-➜  git add test
-```
-
-We should write a description of each commit by `git commit` to allow others to know
-the changes in these files.
-
-```bash
-➜  git commit
-CRLF end-lines remover...............................(no files to check)Skipped
-yapf.................................................(no files to check)Skipped
-Check for added large files..............................................Passed
-Check for merge conflicts................................................Passed

 在使用同步SGD训练神经网络时，PaddlePaddle使用同步屏障（barrier），使梯度的提交和参数的更新按照顺序方式执行。在异步SGD中，则并不会等待所有trainer提交梯度才更新参数，这样极大地提高了计算的并行性：参数服务器之间不相互依赖，并行地接收梯度和更新参数，参数服务器也不会等待计算节点全部都提交梯度之后才开始下一步，计算节点之间也不会相互依赖，并行地执行模型的训练。可以看出，虽然异步SGD方式会提高参数更新并行度, 但是并不能保证参数同步更新，在任意时间某一台参数服务器上保存的参数可能比另一台要更新，与同步SGD相比，梯度会有噪声。
 
-# 环境准备
+## 环境准备
 
 1. 准备您的计算集群。计算集群通常由一组（几台到几千台规模）的Linux服务器组成。服务器之间可以通过局域网（LAN）联通，每台服务器具有集群中唯一的IP地址（或者可被DNS解析的主机名）。集群中的每台计算机通常被成为一个“节点”。
 1. 我们需要在集群的所有节点上安装 PaddlePaddle。 如果要启用GPU，还需要在节点上安装对应的GPU驱动以及CUDA。PaddlePaddle的安装可以参考[build_and_install](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/tree/develop/doc/getstarted/build_and_install)的多种安装方式。我们推荐使用[Docker](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/getstarted/build_and_install/docker_install_cn.rst)安装方式来快速安装PaddlePaddle。

 When training with synchronize SGD, PaddlePaddle uses an internal "synchronize barrier" which makes gradients update and parameter download in strict order. On the other hand, asynchronous SGD won't wait for all trainers to finish upload at a single step, this will increase the parallelism of distributed training: parameter servers do not depend on each other, they'll do parameter optimization concurrently. Parameter servers will not wait for trainers, so trainers will also do their work concurrently. But asynchronous SGD will introduce more randomness and noises in the gradient.
