Decision brief

Simplify distributed deep learning training for TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, and MXNet with minimal code changes.

Good fit when

When you need to scale your training across multiple GPUs or nodes with little modification to existing scripts.
For environments where simplicity and quick setup of multi-GPU training are prioritized.

Avoid when

Avoid when extensive customization beyond core training is needed, as Horovod simplifies processes which might limit flexibility.
Not recommended if your project relies heavily on specific features not well-supported in Horovod's integration with frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch.
