前言：

caffe是很優秀的dl平臺。影響了后面很多相關框架。

cxxnet借鑒了很多caffe的思想。相比之下，cxxnet在實現上更加干凈，例如依賴很少，通過mshadow的模板化使得gpu和cpu代碼只用寫一份，分布式接口也很干凈。

mxnet是cxxnet的下一代，目前實現了cxxnet所有功能，但借鑒了minerva/torch7/theano，加入更多新的功能。

ndarray編程接口，類似matlab/numpy.ndarray/torch.tensor。獨有優勢在于通過背后的engine可以在性能上和內存使用上更優

symbolic接口。這個可以使得快速構建一個神經網絡，和自動求導。

更多binding 目前支持比較好的是python，馬上會有julia和R

更加方便的多卡和多機運行

性能上更優。目前mxnet比cxxnet快40%，而且gpu內存使用少了一半。

目前mxnet還在快速發展中。這個月的主要方向有三，更多的binding，更好的文檔，和更多的應用（language model、語音，機器翻譯，視頻）。地址在dmlc/mxnet · GitHub

官方簡介： ??????????

?????? MXNet is a deep learning framework designed for both efficiency andflexibility.It allows you tomix theflavours of symbolicprogramming and imperative programming to maximize efficiency and productivity.In its core, 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 library is portable and lightweight, and it scales to multiple GPUs and multiple machines.

?????? MXNet is also more than a deep learning project. It is also a collection ofblue prints and guidelines for buildingdeep learning system, and interesting insights of DL systems for hackers.

????? MxNet混合了符號式設計和命令式設計，來最大化效率和提高產出。其核心是一個動態調度器，不停的并行執行符號和命令操作。頂層的圖優化層使符號執行快速且有效。這個包輕量級可移植性好，并且可以擴展到多GPU和多個機器。

????? MxNet不僅是一個深度學習工程，并且是一個為構建DL系統提供藍圖和指導的集合，并且為hackers 提供了一個有趣的視野。
