distributing to other machines

[flavia]

after running make distribute, the distribute folder contains subfolders

• bin
• include
• lib
• proto
• python

i am quite unsure as to what im supposed to do with this distribute folder when i want to distribute to another machine.

You copy it to the other machine and run the binaries there for example?

• "bin" contains the compiled executables,
• "lib" the main caffe library used by most executables which contains all the actual caffe code,
• "include" the necessary header files to use the caffe C++ API in another project,
• "proto" contains the serialization and deserialization code generated by the protobut compiler to read and write data structures conforming to the caffe.proto (network and solver defintions, caffemodel files, etc.),
• the "python" dir contains the python API to caffe, if compiled.

Do mind, that the portability of binary code (moreover, code generated for specific GPUs) is quite limited.
