Ray consists of a core distributed runtime and a set of AI libraries for simplifying ML compute: [![](https://github.com/ray-project/ray/raw/master/doc/source/images/what-is-ray-padded.svg)](https://github.com/ray-project/ray/raw/master/doc/source/images/what-is-ray-padded.svg) Learn more about [Ray AI Libraries](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-air/getting-started.html): - [Data](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/data/dataset.html): Scalable Datasets for ML - [Train](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/train/train.html): Distributed Training - [Tune](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/tune/index.html): Scalable Hyperparameter Tuning - [RLlib](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/rllib/index.html): Scalable Reinforcement Learning - [Serve](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/serve/index.html): Scalable and Programmable Serving Or more about [Ray Core](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-core/walkthrough.html) and its key abstractions: - [Tasks](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-core/tasks.html): Stateless functions executed in the cluster. - [Actors](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-core/actors.html): Stateful worker processes created in the cluster. - [Objects](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-core/objects.html): Immutable values accessible across the cluster. Learn more about Monitoring and Debugging: - Monitor Ray apps and clusters with the [Ray Dashboard](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-core/ray-dashboard.html). - Debug Ray apps with the [Ray Distributed Debugger](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-observability/ray-distributed-debugger.html). Ray runs on any machine, cluster, cloud provider, and Kubernetes, and features a growing [ecosystem of community integrations](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-overview/ray-libraries.html). Install Ray with: `pip install ray`. For nightly wheels, see the [Installation page](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-overview/installation.html). ## Why Ray? Today’s ML workloads are increasingly compute-intensive. As convenient as they are, single-node development environments such as your laptop cannot scale to meet these demands. Ray is a unified way to scale Python and AI applications from a laptop to a cluster. With Ray, you can seamlessly scale the same code from a laptop to a cluster. Ray is designed to be general-purpose, meaning that it can performantly run any kind of workload. If your application is written in Python, you can scale it with Ray, no other infrastructure required. ## More Information - [Documentation](http://docs.ray.io/en/latest/index.html) - [Ray Architecture whitepaper](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tBw9A4j62ruI5omIJbMxly-la5w4q_TjyJgJL_jN2fI/preview) - [Exoshuffle: large-scale data shuffle in Ray](https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.05072) - [Ownership: a distributed futures system for fine-grained tasks](https://www.usenix.org/system/files/nsdi21-wang.pdf) - [RLlib paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.09381) - [Tune paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.05118) _Older documents:_ - [Ray paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.05889) - [Ray HotOS paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.03924) - [Ray Architecture v1 whitepaper](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lAy0Owi-vPz2jEqBSaHNQcy2IBSDEHyXNOQZlGuj93c/preview) ## Getting Involved | Platform | Purpose | Estimated Response Time | Support Level | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Discourse Forum](https://discuss.ray.io/) | For discussions about development and questions about usage. | \< 1 day | Community | | [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/ray-project/ray/issues) | For reporting bugs and filing feature requests. | \< 2 days | Ray OSS Team | | [Slack](https://www.ray.io/join-slack?utm_source=github&utm_medium=ray_readme&utm_campaign=getting_involved) | For collaborating with other Ray users. | \< 2 days | Community | | [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/ray) | For asking questions about how to use Ray. | 3-5 days | Community | | [Meetup Group](https://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Ray-Meetup/) | For learning about Ray projects and best practices. | Monthly | Ray DevRel | | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/raydistributed) | For staying up-to-date on new features. | Daily | Ray DevRel | ## GitHub: > **[GitHub - ray-project/ray: Ray is an AI compute engine.
