Description

Please make sure that this is a feature request. As per our GitHub Policy, we only address code/doc bugs, performance issues, feature requests and build/installation issues on GitHub. tag:feature_template

System information

  • TensorFlow version (you are using): 2.X
  • Are you willing to contribute it (Yes/No): Yes, when able and available

Describe the feature and the current behavior/state.
Tensorflow on Python has tf.distribute.Strategy API to distribute training across multiple GPUs or multiple machines.

Will this change the current api? How?
Yes, it will add a new awesome feature

Who will benefit with this feature?

  • Anyone that requires to speed up training a DL model
  • Anyone that requires to train a DL model with big data
  • Anyone who wants to create or add Java support for APIs that leverages tf.distribute.Strategy such as TensorflowOnSpark, Spark Tensorflow Distributor or Horovod
