Nodes in the graph represent mathematical + operations, while the graph edges represent the + multidimensional data arrays (tensors) communicated between + them. The flexible architecture allows you to deploy + computation to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop, server, + or mobile device with a single API. TensorFlow was originally + developed by researchers and engineers working on the Google + Brain Team within Google's Machine Intelligence research + organization for the purposes of conducting machine learning + and deep neural networks research, but the system is general + enough to be applicable in a wide variety of other domains as + well."</p> + + <p>TensorFlow now is the most popular platform/library for machine + learning and AI. There are official binaries for Linux, Mac, + Windows, and Android, but no official support for &os;. For + the last several months, I have done some work to make + TensorFlow available on &os;. Some notable work:</p> + + <ul> + <li>Patch <tt>bazel</tt> to not depend on <tt>/proc</tt> at + build time. <tt>bazel</tt> is a build tool made by Google. + It uses <tt>/proc</tt> to get path-to-self when building C++ + code, but mounting <tt>/proc</tt> is usually not allowed + when building as an unprivileged user.</li> + + <li>TensorFlow can now be built on &os; 10.x by using + <tt>clang38</tt> as the default <tt>bazel</tt> cross-build + tool.</li> + + <li>Patch the <tt>bazel</tt> workspace files to allow + TensorFlow to be built using offline third-party + dependencies. This work is needed because the &os; Ports + framework does not allow network access except during the + fetch stage.</li> + + <li>Fix the build on &os; i386.</li> + + <li>Make TensorFlow build with either Python 2 or Python 3.</li> + + <li>Update to the latest version, which is + <tt>tensorflow</tt>-1.2.0.</li> + </ul> + + <p>This port would not be possible without substantial + assistance from bapt@, lwhsu@, mat@, and koobs@ — thank + you for your help!
