Apache Spark vs. Deeplearning4j vs. JavaScript vs. Spark Streaming Comparison Chart

DL4J takes advantage of the latest distributed computing frameworks including Apache Spark and Hadoop to accelerate training. On multi-GPUs, it is equal to Caffe in performance. The libraries are completely open-source, Apache 2.0, and maintained by the developer community and Konduit team. Deeplearning4j is written in Java and is compatible with any JVM language, such as Scala, Clojure, or Kotlin. The underlying computations are written in C, C++, and Cuda. Keras will serve as the Python API. Eclipse Deeplearning4j is the first commercial-grade, open-source, distributed deep-learning library written for Java and Scala. Integrated with Hadoop and Apache Spark, DL4J brings AI to business environments for use on distributed GPUs and CPUs. There are a lot of parameters to adjust when you're training a deep-learning network. We've done our best to explain them, so that Deeplearning4j can serve as a DIY tool for Java, Scala, Clojure, and Kotlin programmers.

Spark Streaming brings Apache Spark's language-integrated API to stream processing, letting you write streaming jobs the same way you write batch jobs. It supports Java, Scala and Python. Spark Streaming recovers both lost work and operator state (e.g. sliding windows) out of the box, without any extra code on your part. By running on Spark, Spark Streaming lets you reuse the same code for batch processing, join streams against historical data, or run ad-hoc queries on stream state. Build powerful interactive applications, not just analytics. Spark Streaming is developed as part of Apache Spark. It thus gets tested and updated with each Spark release. You can run Spark Streaming on Spark's standalone cluster mode or other supported cluster resource managers. It also includes a local run mode for development. In production, Spark Streaming uses ZooKeeper and HDFS for high availability.
