This document provides an overview and summary of BigDL, an open source distributed deep learning library for Apache Spark. It describes how BigDL allows users to run deep learning on Spark by supporting common deep learning frameworks and algorithms. Specific capabilities and examples discussed include using BigDL to run Deep Speech 2 for speech recognition on LibriSpeech data and using BigDL to run Faster R-CNN and SSD for object detection on PASCAL VOC data. Performance comparisons show BigDL achieving comparable or better results than other frameworks.
