Intel nGraph library project
#############################

Welcome to Intel nGraph, an open source C++ library for developers of 
:abbr:`Deep Learning (DL)` (DL) systems. Here you will find a suite 
of components, APIs, and documentation that can be used to compile 
and run :abbr:`Deep Neural Network (DNN)` (DNN) models defined in a 
variety of frameworks.  

.. figure:: graphics/ngraph-hub.png  


For this early release, we provide :doc:`framework-integration-guides` to compile 
and run MXNet and TensorFlow-based projects.

The nGraph library translates a framework’s representation of computations into 
an :abbr:`Intermediate Representation (IR)` designed to promote computational 
efficiency on target hardware. Initially-supported backends include Intel 
Architecture CPUs (CPU), the Intel® Nervana Neural Network Processor™ (NNP), 
and NVIDIA\* GPUs. Currently-supported compiler optimizations include efficient 
memory management and data layout abstraction. 

Further project details can be found on our :doc:`project/about` page.
