Distributed Iterative Computation in TensorFlow
Yuan Yu
Google

Abstract

Deep learning is driving significant advances in Artificial Intelligence. In this talk, I will describe the design and implementation of TensorFlow, the Google platform for large-scale training of neural networks. The talk will focus on one important aspect of the system: distributed execution of iterative TensorFlow programs.
