Caffe

Caffe is a deep learning framework made with expression, speed, and modularity in mind. It is developed by Berkeley AI Research (BAIR)/The Berkeley Vision and Learning Center (BVLC) and community contributors.

Check out the project site for all the details like

• DIY Deep Learning for Vision with Caffe
• Tutorial Documentation
• BAIR reference models and the community model zoo
• Installation instructions

and step-by-step examples.

Custom distributions

• Intel Caffe (Optimized for CPU and support for multi-node), in particular Xeon processors (HSW, BDW, SKX, Xeon Phi).
• OpenCL Caffe e.g. for AMD or Intel devices.
• Windows Caffe

Community

Please join the caffe-users group or gitter chat to ask questions and talk about methods and models. Framework development discussions and thorough bug reports are collected on Issues.

Happy brewing!
