  • pytorch-A3C

    Simple A3C implementation with pytorch + multiprocessing

  • For the A3C part, I would appreciate your insights on whether to use Tensorflow or PyTorch to implement the algorithm. This GitHub https://github.com/MorvanZhou/pytorch-A3C tries to explain some things but it still isn't very clear to me which is the best, as I see that many implementations with TensorFlow. So if you have anything to add to help me choose one framework, I would very thankful.

  • pytorch-a3c

    PyTorch implementation of Asynchronous Advantage Actor Critic (A3C) from "Asynchronous Methods for Deep Reinforcement Learning". (by ikostrikov)

  • Do you absolutely need A3C? A2C has become more widely used (see, e.g., the comment in https://github.com/ikostrikov/pytorch-a3c, and the fact that both https://github.com/thu-ml/tianshou and https://github.com/facebookresearch/salina have A2C implementations, but no A3C at first glance).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
