+mshadow: Matrix Shadow
+======
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/dmlc/mshadow.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/dmlc/mshadow)
+
+MShadow is a lightweight CPU/GPU Matrix/Tensor Template Library in C++/CUDA. The goal of mshadow is to support ***efficient***,
+***device invariant*** and ***simple*** tensor library for machine learning project that aims for maximum performance and control, while also emphasize simplicity.
+
+MShadow also provides interface that allows writing Multi-GPU and distributed deep learning programs in an easy and unified way.

+* [Contributors](https://github.com/tqchen/mshadow/graphs/contributors)
+* [Tutorial](guide)
+* [Documentation](doc)
+* [Parameter Server Interface for GPU Tensor](guide/mshadow-ps)
+
+Features
+--------
+* Efficient: all the expression you write will be lazily evaluated and compiled into optimized code
+  - No temporal memory allocation will happen for expression you write
+  - mshadow will generate specific kernel for every expression you write in compile time.
+* Device invariant: you can write one code and it will run on both CPU and GPU
+* Simple: mshadow allows you to write machine learning code using expressions.
+* Whitebox: put a float* into the Tensor struct and take the benefit of the package, no memory allocation is happened unless explicitly called
+* Lightweight library: light amount of code to support frequently used functions in machine learning
+* Extendable: user can write simple functions that plugs into mshadow and run on GPU/CPU, no experience in CUDA is required.
+* MultiGPU and Distributed ML: mshadow-ps interface allows user to write efficient MultiGPU and distributed programs in an unified way.
+
+Version
+-------
+* This version mshadow-2.x, there are a lot of changes in the interface and it is not backward compatible with mshadow-1.0
+  - If you use older version of cxxnet, you will need to use the legacy mshadow code
+* For legacy code, refer to [Here](https://github.com/tqchen/mshadow/releases/tag/v1.1)
+* Change log in [CHANGES.md](CHANGES.md)
