Apache MXNet is an

Perl, and Wolfram Language). The MXNet library is portable and can scale to multiple GPUs[2] and machines. It was co-developed by Carlos Guestrin at the University of Washington, along with GraphLab.[3]

As of September 2023, it is no longer actively developed.[4]

Features

Apache MXNet is a scalable deep learning framework that supports deep learning models, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and long short-term memory networks (LSTMs).

Scalability

MXNet can be distributed on dynamic

CPUs
, the framework can approach linear scale.

Flexibility

MXNet supports both imperative and symbolic programming. The framework allows developers to track, debug, save checkpoints, modify hyperparameters, and perform early stopping.

Multiple languages

MXNet supports Python, R, Scala, Clojure, Julia, Perl, MATLAB, and JavaScript for front-end development and C++ for back-end optimization.

Portability

The framework supports deployment of a trained model to low-end devices for inference, such as mobile devices by using Amalgamation.

containers
. These low-end environments can have only weaker CPU or limited memory (RAM) and should be able to use the models that were trained on a higher-level environment (GPU-based cluster, for example)

Cloud Support

MXNet is supported by

public cloud providers including Amazon Web Services (AWS)[7] and Microsoft Azure.[8] Currently, MXNet is supported by Intel, Baidu, Microsoft, Wolfram Research, and research institutions such as Carnegie Mellon, MIT, the University of Washington, and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.[9]
