#High-Performance Inference

PaddlePaddle is a pioneering deep learning platform from China, supporting over 10.7 million developers and 235,000 companies. It offers sophisticated features and support for industries such as manufacturing and agriculture, with a portfolio of over 860,000 models to drive AI commercialization. Known for its advances in large-scale training and high-performance inference, PaddlePaddle ensures third-party framework compatibility and adaptability across different deployment scenarios, including Cloud, Mobile, and IoT. The platform is well-suited for both beginners and expert developers, providing extensive documentation, courses, and community resources to facilitate AI integration and project execution.

Provides efficient inference for BERT-like models with Python and C++ APIs using advanced architectural optimizations. Compatible with both fixed and variable-length transformers, the library surpasses other frameworks, as highlighted in IEEE IPDPS 2023. Implemented at ByteDance, it exceeds PyTorch and TensorFlow performance on NVIDIA GPUs. The setup is straightforward, requiring CUDA 11.6, CMake 3.13+, and PyTorch 1.8+.
