Features

• Flexibility

  PaddlePaddle supports a wide range of neural network architectures and optimization algorithms. It is easy to configure complex models such as neural machine translation model with attention mechanism or complex memory connection.

• Efficiency

  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:

  • 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

  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.

• 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.

特点

• 灵活性

  PaddlePaddle支持丰富的神经网络架构和优化算法。易于配置复杂模型，例如带有注意力机制或复杂记忆连接的神经网络机器翻译模型。

• 高效性

  为了高效使用异步计算资源，PaddlePaddle对框架的不同层进行优化，包括计算、存储、架构和通信。下面是一些样例：

  • 通过SSE/AVX 内置函数、BLAS库(例如MKL、OpenBLAS、cuBLAS)或定制的CPU/GPU内核优化数学操作。
  • 通过MKL-DNN库优化CNN网络
  • 高度优化循环网络，无需执行 padding 操作即可处理 变长 序列
  • 针对高维稀疏数据模型，优化了局部和分布式训练。

• 稳定性

  有了 PaddlePaddle，使得利用各种CPU/GPU和机器来加速训练变得简单。PaddlePaddle 通过优化通信可以实现巨大吞吐量和快速执行。

• 连接产品

  另外，PaddlePaddle 的设计也易于部署。在百度，PaddlePaddle 已经部署到含有巨大用户量的产品和服务上，包括广告点击率（CTR）预测、大规模图像分类、光学字符识别（OCR）、搜索排序，计算机病毒检测、推荐系统等等。PaddlePaddle广泛应用于百度产品中，产生了非常重要的影响。我们希望您也能探索 PaddlePaddle 的能力，为您的产品创造新的影响力和效果。
