Apache TVM is an open-source compiler framework for deep learning that provides performance portability across diverse hardware backends including CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and specialized accelerators (ARM, NVIDIA, AMD, Qualcomm). It automatically optimizes deep learning models from frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX, MXNet, and Keras for deployment on edge and cloud targets. TVM is an Apache Software Foundation top-level project.
