Speed up creation of tensors from compressed TensorProtos by 2-3x.

This should speed up some TF models optimized by Grappler in particular, since Grappler tries to compress all constants in a graph.

Documentation

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. It has a comprehensive, flexible ecosystem of tools, libraries, and community resources that lets researchers push the state-of-the-art in ML and developers easily build and deploy ML powered applications.

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. The system is general enough to be applicable in a wide variety of other domains, as well.

TensorFlow provides stable Python and C++ APIs, as well as non-guaranteed backwards compatible API for other languages.

Keep up-to-date with release announcements and security updates by subscribing to announce@tensorflow.org. See all the mailing lists.

Install

See the TensorFlow install guide for the pip package, to enable GPU support, use a Docker container, and build from source.

To install the current release for CPU-only:

$ pip install tensorflow

Use the GPU package for CUDA-enabled GPU cards:

$ pip install tensorflow-gpu

Nightly binaries are available for testing using the tf-nightly and tf-nightly-gpu packages on PyPi.

Try your first TensorFlow program

$ python
>>> import tensorflow as tf
>>> tf.enable_eager_execution()
>>> tf.add(1, 2).numpy()
3
>>> hello = tf.constant('Hello, TensorFlow!')
>>> hello.numpy()
'Hello, TensorFlow!'

For more examples, see the TensorFlow tutorials.
