1# DLPack: Open In Memory Tensor Structure
2
3[](https://travis-ci.org/dmlc/dlpack)
4
5DLPack is an open in-memory tensor structure to for sharing tensor among frameworks. DLPack enables
6
7- Easier sharing of operators between deep learning frameworks.
8- Easier wrapping of vendor level operator implementations, allowing collaboration when introducing new devices/ops.
9- Quick swapping of backend implementations, like different version of BLAS
10- For final users, this could bring more operators, and possiblity of mixing usage between frameworks.
11
12We do not intend to implement of Tensor and Ops, but instead use this as common bridge
13to reuse tensor and ops across frameworks.

15## Proposal Procedure
16RFC proposals are opened as issues. The major release will happen as a vote issue to make
17sure the participants agree on the changes.

19## Project Structure
20There are two major components so far
21- include: stablized headers
22- contrib: in progress unstable libraries
