Computational & Deep Learning Frameworks Benchmark on real-world tasks

Use benchmark.ipynb to run the benchmark.

Frameworks compared:

Python 3/Numpy with or without Numba JIT compilation
Julia The Julia Programming Language
C++ called from Python using pybind11
Tensorflow v1 and v2 in CPU/GPU mode
Theano
MinPy a NumPy interface above MXNet backend, in CPU/GPU mode
Gluon library in Apache MXNet, CPU/GPU mode
CuPy an open-source matrix library accelerated with NVIDIA CUDA.
R Project for Statistical Computing

Tasks:

See benchmark.ipynb notebook for details.
