| Caffe is a deep learning framework made with expression, speed, and modularity in mind. | |
| It is developed by Berkeley AI Research ([BAIR](http://bair.berkeley.edu))/The Berkeley Vision and Learning Center (BVLC) and community contributors. | |
| Check out the [project site](http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org) for all the details like | |

| - [Tutorial Documentation](http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/tutorial/) | |
| - [BAIR reference models](http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/model_zoo.html) and the [community model zoo](https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/wiki/Model-Zoo) | |
| - [Installation instructions](http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/installation.html) | |
| and step-by-step examples. | |
| ## Custom distributions | |
| - [Intel Caffe](https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/intel) (Optimized for CPU and support for multi-node), in particular Xeon processors (HSW, BDW, SKX, Xeon Phi). | |
| - [OpenCL Caffe](https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/opencl) e.g. for AMD or Intel devices. | |
