MXNet vs. PyTorch vs. Rust vs. WebAssembly Comparison Chart

Transition seamlessly between eager and graph modes with TorchScript, and accelerate the path to production with TorchServe. Scalable distributed training and performance optimization in research and production is enabled by the torch-distributed backend. A rich ecosystem of tools and libraries extends PyTorch and supports development in computer vision, NLP and more. PyTorch is well supported on major cloud platforms, providing frictionless development and easy scaling. Select your preferences and run the install command. Stable represents the most currently tested and supported version of PyTorch. This should be suitable for many users. Preview is available if you want the latest, not fully tested and supported, 1.10 builds that are generated nightly. Please ensure that you have met the prerequisites (e.g., numpy), depending on your package manager. Anaconda is our recommended package manager since it installs all dependencies.

WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine. Wasm is designed as a portable compilation target for programming languages, enabling deployment on the web for client and server applications. The Wasm stack machine is designed to be encoded in a size- and load-time-efficient binary format. WebAssembly aims to execute at native speed by taking advantage of common hardware capabilities available on a wide range of platforms. WebAssembly describes a memory-safe, sandboxed execution environment that may even be implemented inside existing JavaScript virtual machines. When embedded in the web, WebAssembly will enforce the same-origin and permissions security policies of the browser. WebAssembly is designed to be pretty-printed in a textual format for debugging, testing, experimenting, optimizing, learning, teaching, and writing programs by hand. The textual format will be used when viewing the source of Wasm modules on the web.
