   <p>#singa-incubating-0.2.0 Release Notes</p>
 <hr class="docutils" />
 <p>SINGA is a general distributed deep learning platform for training big deep
 learning models over large datasets. It is designed with an intuitive
 programming model based on the layer abstraction. SINGA supports a wide variety
 of popular deep learning models.</p>
 <p>This release includes the following <strong>major features</strong>:</p>
 <ul class="simple">
 <li><a class="reference external" href="../docs/gpu.html">Training on GPU</a> enables training of complex models on a single node with multiple GPU cards.</li>
 <li><a class="reference external" href="../docs/hybrid.html">Hybrid neural net partitioning</a> supports data and model parallelism at the same time.</li>
 <li><a class="reference external" href="../docs/python.html">Python wrapper</a> makes it easy to configure the job, including neural net and SGD algorithm.</li>
 <li><a class="reference external" href="../docs/general-rnn.html">RNN model and BPTT algorithm</a> are implemented to support applications based on RNN models, e.g., GRU.</li>
 <li><a class="reference external" href="../docs/distributed-training.md">Cloud software integration</a> includes Mesos, Docker and HDFS.</li>
