standard C/C++ code and turning it into a dataflow graph that can be mapped
onto the DPUs. A WaveFlow Agent Library and Execution Engine are provided
for runtime support. The software stack will initially support the TensorFlow
deep learning framework, but plans to add Microsoft’s Cognitive Toolkit
(CNTK), MXNet, and others are already in the works.
