Fabric for Deep Learning (FfDL)
Deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Caffe, Torch, Theano, and MXNet have contributed to the popularity of deep learning by reducing the effort and skills needed to design, train, and use deep learning models. Fabric for Deep Learning (FfDL, pronounced “fiddle”) provides a consistent way to run these deep-learning frameworks as a service on Kubernetes. The FfDL platform uses a microservices architecture to reduce coupling between components, keep each component simple and as stateless as possible, isolate component failures, and allow each component to be developed, tested, deployed, scaled, and upgraded independently. Leveraging the power of Kubernetes, FfDL provides a scalable, resilient, and fault-tolerant deep-learning framework. The platform uses a distribution and orchestration layer that facilitates learning from a large amount of data in a reasonable amount of time across compute nodes.
