I like the clarity of thought and structure of the article. I have used Tensorflow and had to explain it to a friend. So many times, I end up assuming things which are obvious to me but not to someone getting started.
As said in the article, Tensorflow stands out for the ease of use and is to the best of my knowledge first distributed learning framework. Theano, Torch et al are faster but do not come with goodies like Tensorboard.
- gradys 10y agoThere are different notions of "fast" as well. Theano might be faster on a single GPU (not actually sure if this is still true), but TensorFlow can be distributed to multiple GPUs in one machine or even across several machines. Several groups have reported speedups that are near-linear in the number of GPUs you distribute across. This can make TensorFlow orders of magnitude faster than Theano.
- chronic80 10y agoTensorFlow is second in speed, right behind torch (fp16). Theano is quite far behind at this point.
