layout: base title: SystemDS Documentation
SystemDS is a flexible, scalable machine learning system. SystemDS's distinguishing characteristics are:
- Algorithm customizability via R-like and Python-like languages.
- Multiple execution modes, including Spark MLContext, Spark Batch, Standalone, and JMLC.
- Automatic optimization based on data and cluster characteristics to ensure both efficiency and scalability.
This version of SystemDS supports: Java 8+, Python 3.5+, Hadoop 2.6+ (Not 3.X), and Spark 2.1+ (Not 3.X) Nvidia CUDA 10.2 (CuDNN 7.x) Intel MKL (<=2019.x).
