Welcome to MyCaffe!

MyCaffe is a complete C# re-write of the native C++ CAFFE[1] open source project.

MyCaffe allows Windows C# software developers to use and expand deep learning solutions in their native C# language. All layers except for a few, and nearly every unit test are now provided in C#. Windows programmers can now write their own custom layers in the C# langauge, yet still enjoy the benefit of an efficient deep learning architecture that supports multi-GPU training on up to 8 headless GPU's using NCCL 1.3.4 ('Nickel').

Now you can create custom layers for MyCaffe in C# using the full extent of the Windows .NET Framwork!

We have made a large effort to keep the MyCaffe C# code true to the original down to comment with the hope of making it even easier to extend the general CAFFE architecture for all.
In addition, MyCaffe uses the same Proto Buffer file format for solver and model descriptions and model binary files allowing an easy exchange between the MyCaffe and C++ CAFFE platforms.

Most of the MyCaffe C# code is very similar to the C++ CAFFE code, for our goal is to extend the CAFFE platform to C# programmers, while maintaining compatibility with CAFFE's solver descriptions, model descriptions and binary weight format.

To get started with the MyCaffe C# source, check out the MyCaffe open-source project on GitHub.
