History

Yangqing Jia created the Caffe project during his PhD at UC Berkeley.[6] It is currently hosted on GitHub.[7]

Features

Caffe supports many different types of deep learning architectures geared towards image classification and image segmentation. It supports CNN, RCNN, LSTM and fully-connected neural network designs.[8] Caffe supports GPU- and CPU-based acceleration computational kernel libraries such as Nvidia cuDNN and Intel MKL.[9][10]

Applications

Caffe is being used in academic research projects, startup prototypes, and even large-scale industrial applications in vision, speech, and multimedia. Yahoo! has also integrated Caffe with Apache Spark to create CaffeOnSpark, a distributed deep learning framework.[11]

Caffe2

In April 2017, Facebook announced Caffe2,[12] which included new features such as recurrent neural network (RNN). At the end of March 2018, Caffe2 was merged into PyTorch.[13]
