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.

TensorFlow
An end-to-end open source machine learning platform. TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. It has a comprehensive, flexible ecosystem of tools, libraries and community resources that lets researchers push the state-of-the-art in ML and developers easily build and deploy ML powered applications. Build and train ML models easily using intuitive high-level APIs like Keras with eager execution, which makes for immediate model iteration and easy debugging. Easily train and deploy models in the cloud, on-prem, in the browser, or on-device no matter what language you use. A simple and flexible architecture to take new ideas from concept to code, to state-of-the-art models, and to publication faster. Build, deploy, and experiment easily with TensorFlow.

TensorBoard
TensorBoard is TensorFlow's comprehensive visualization toolkit designed to facilitate machine learning experimentation. It enables users to track and visualize metrics such as loss and accuracy, visualize the model graph (operations and layers), view histograms of weights, biases, or other tensors as they change over time, project embeddings to a lower-dimensional space, and display images, text, and audio data. Additionally, TensorBoard offers profiling capabilities to optimize TensorFlow programs. These features collectively provide a suite of tools to understand, debug, and optimize TensorFlow programs, enhancing the machine learning workflow. In machine learning, to improve something you often need to be able to measure it. TensorBoard is a tool for providing the measurements and visualizations needed during the machine learning workflow. It enables tracking experiment metrics, visualizing the model graph, and projecting embeddings to a lower dimensional space.

NVIDIA DIGITS
The NVIDIA Deep Learning GPU Training System (DIGITS) puts the power of deep learning into the hands of engineers and data scientists. DIGITS can be used to rapidly train the highly accurate deep neural network (DNNs) for image classification, segmentation and object detection tasks. DIGITS simplifies common deep learning tasks such as managing data, designing and training neural networks on multi-GPU systems, monitoring performance in real-time with advanced visualizations, and selecting the best performing model from the results browser for deployment. DIGITS is completely interactive so that data scientists can focus on designing and training networks rather than programming and debugging. Interactively train models using TensorFlow and visualize model architecture using TensorBoard. Integrate custom plug-ins for importing special data formats such as DICOM used in medical imaging.
