Ray
The AI Compute Engine for any distributed workload at any scale

Ray is an open-source Python-native framework for building, scaling, and distributing AI and machine learning workloads across any infrastructure. It provides primitives for distributed computing along with high-level libraries for data processing, model training, serving, and reinforcement learning. Ray is developed and maintained by Anyscale, which also offers a fully managed cloud platform built on top of Ray.
Ray provides a unified Python-native framework with core primitives (tasks, actors, objects) and high-level ML libraries that distribute and orchestrate workloads across clusters of CPUs and GPUs at any scale.
