Introduce persistent, read-only TFLite tensor type

Several operators (rank, shape) are critical for preserving the ability
to resize graphs correctly at runtime. However, introduction of such ops
in the graph currently makes it impossible to fully propagate shapes when
tensors are allocated. This also prevents delegation of the graph for most
delegates, as it introduces dynamic shapes.

Introduce a new, persistent tensor type that can be treated as "constant"
at the time of TfLiteRegistration::Prepare. This tensor type is allocated
immediately when requested, similar to a dynamic tensor, but promises that
its contents will be populated after the "producing" node is prepared, and
that it won't change across subsequent evals.

Update Rank/Shape operators to use this tensor allocation type.

A follow-up CL will introduce a new pseudo-constant tensor check
that can be used by various kernels to avoid making them dynamic.

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 to conduct 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 backward 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, which includes support for CUDA-enabled GPU cards (Ubuntu and Windows):

$ pip install tensorflow

A smaller CPU-only package is also available:

$ pip install tensorflow-cpu

To update TensorFlow to the latest version, add --upgrade flag to the above commands.

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

Try your first TensorFlow program

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

For more examples, see the TensorFlow tutorials.
