Created by Yangqing Jia, Department of EECS, University of California, Berkeley.
Maintained by the Berkeley Vision and Learning Center (BVLC).
## Introduction
Caffe aims to provide computer vision scientists with a **clean, modifiable
implementation** of state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms. Network structure
is easily specified in separate config files, with no mess of hard-coded
parameters in the code. Python and Matlab wrappers are provided.
At the same time, Caffe fits industry needs, with blazing fast C++/Cuda code for
GPU computation. Caffe is currently the fastest GPU CNN implementation publicly
available, and is able to process more than **20 million images per day** on a
single Tesla K20 machine \*.
Caffe also provides **seamless switching between CPU and GPU**, which allows one
to train models with fast GPUs and then deploy them on non-GPU clusters with one
line of code: `Caffe::set_mode(Caffe::CPU)`.
Even in CPU mode, computing predictions on an image takes only 20 ms when images
are processed in batch mode.
