MXNet is an open-source deep learning framework that allows you to define, train, and deploy deep neural networks. It is scalable, allowing for fast model training, and supports a flexible programming model and multiple languages (C++, Python, Julia, Matlab, JavaScript, Go, R, Scala). MXNet allows you to mix symbolic and imperative programming. MXNet is built on a dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both symbolic and imperative operations on the fly. A graph optimization layer on top of that makes symbolic execution fast and memory efficient. The MXNet library is portable and lightweight, and it can scale to multiple GPUs[1] and multiple machines. MXNet is supported by major Public Cloud providers including Azure and AWS.[2] Amazon has chosen MXNet as its deep learning framework of choice at AWS.[3][4] Currently, MXNet is supported by Intel, Dato, Baidu, Microsoft, Wolfram, and research institutions such as Carnegie Mellon, MIT, the University of Washington, and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.[5]
