It addresses a gap among existing tools. Single-machine frameworks such as Caffe, Theano and Torch are flexible but do not scale across clusters. Parameter-server systems scale, but they hard-code how shared model state is… 2. **[TensorFlow: Large-Scale Machine Learning on Heterogeneous Distributed Systems](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/abadi-2016-tensorflow-large-scale-machine-learning/)** *(2016 · 9,512 citations)* Google's first distributed deep-learning system, DistBelief, was powerful but rigid. Separate tools for large-scale training and small-scale deployment also caused maintenance problems and leaky abstractions. TensorFlow, the second-generation system, addresses this with one programming model that runs on phones… ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
