HeAT is a distributed tensor framework for high performance data analytics.
Project Status
[](https://travis-ci.com/helmholtz-analytics/heat) [](https://heat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest) [](https://codecov.io/gh/helmholtz-analytics/heat)
Goals
The goal of HeAT is to fill the gap between machine learning libraries that have a strong focus on exploiting GPUs for performance, and traditional, distributed high-performance computing (HPC). The basic idea is to provide a generic, distributed tensor library with machine learning methods based on it.
Among other things, the implementation will allow us to tackle use cases that would otherwise exceed memory limits of a single node.
Features
high-performance n-dimensional tensors
CPU, GPU and distributed computation using MPI
powerful machine learning methods using above mentioned tensors
Requirements
HeAT is based on [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/). Specifially, we are exploiting PyTorch’s support for GPUs and MPI parallelism. Therefore, PyTorch must be compiled with MPI support when using HeAT. The instructions to install PyTorch in that way are contained in the script [install-torch.sh](install-torch.sh), which we’re also using to install PyTorch in Travis CI.
Installation
Tagged releases are made available on the [Python Package Index (PyPI)](https://pypi.org/project/heat/). You can typically install the latest version with
> $ pip install heat
If you want to work with the development version, you can checkout the sources using
> $ git clone https://github.com/helmholtz-analytics/heat.git
