MXNet is a deep learning framework designed for both efficiency and flexibility. It allows you to mix the flavours of symbolic programming and imperative programming together to maximize the efficiency and your productivity. In its core, a dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both symbolic and imperative operations on the fly. A graph optimization layer is build on top, which makes symbolic execution fast and memory efficient. The library is portable and lightweight, and is ready scales to multiple GPUs, and multiple machines.

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