The MegEngine framework supports deep learning and automatic differentiation, according to its repository description.
About MegEngine
MegEngine is an open-source deep learning framework hosted on GitHub under the Apache License 2.0. Its repository describes it as a fast, scalable, and easy-to-use framework that supports automatic differentiation. It covers both training and inference, and the README states that a single model can be trained and then used for inference on different platforms.
Python packages install from pip wheels on Linux 64-bit, Windows 64-bit, macOS (CPU-only, 10.14+), and Android 7+ (CPU-only), with Python 3.6 to 3.9. Windows 10 users can install the Linux distribution through WSL or the Windows distribution directly. Other platforms are listed for inference only. The README also describes memory-reduction methods, including the DTR algorithm and a Pushdown memory planner, but these are the project's own claims and are not independently verified here.
Key features
- Unified framework for both model training and inference
- Quantization, dynamic shape handling, and image pre-processing within a single model
- Pushdown memory planner for inference with lower memory usage
- DTR algorithm for reducing GPU memory use during training
- Inference on x86, Arm, CUDA, and RoCM hardware
- Automatic differentiation support
Best for: Python developers and researchers who build deep learning models and want one framework for training and inference across the platforms listed in the README.
