Intel's BigDL on Databricks

Intel recently released its BigDL project for distributed deep learning on Apache Spark. BigDL has native Spark integration, allowing it to leverage Spark during model training, prediction, and tuning. This blog post gives highlights of BigDL and a tutorial showing how to get started with BigDL on Databricks. BigDL is an open source deep learning library from Intel. Modeled after Torch, BigDL provides functionality both for low-level numeric computing and high-level neural networks.
