In their own words

Apache SINGA

Apache SINGA is a free distributed deep-learning library for training deep-learning and machine-learning models. Its listed training mode is local, with data-parallel training across multiple GPUs on one node or across multiple nodes. GPU packages use CUDA and cuDNN, and Docker images are available for Nvidia GPUs. Installation options include pip, Docker, Conda, and source builds; pip documentation covers Python 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11. SINGA supports Python and C++, loads ONNX models, and can save models defined through its APIs in ONNX format. Optimizers listed include momentum-based stochastic gradient descent, Adam, RMSProp, and AdaGrad. Models can be queried in an RDBMS. The repository and Google Colab provide domain-specific models, including healthcare and science examples. It runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, and self-hosted environments, with on-premises deployment and Apache License 2.0 licensing.
