TensorFlow: A System for Large-scale Machine Learning

TensorFlow is an open-source machine learning

system, originally developed by the Google

Brain team, which operates at large scale and in

heterogeneous environments. TensorFlow trains

and executes a variety of machine learning

models at Google, including deep neural

networks for image recognition and machine

translation. The system uses dataflow graphs to

represent stateful computations, and achieves

high performance by mapping these graphs

across clusters of machines containing

multi-core CPUs, general-purpose GPUs, and

custom-designed ASICs known as Tensor

Processing Units (TPUs). In this talk, I will give a

brief overview of how TensorFlow was designed,

and how it differs from contemporary systems. I

will also highlight the opportunities for future

systems research on top of TensorFlow.
