Integration of Flower Applications with NVIDIA FLARE

Flower is an open-source project that implements a unified approach to federated learning, analytics, and evaluation. Flower has developed a large set of strategies and algorithms for FL application development and a healthy FL research community.

FLARE, on the other hand, has been focusing on providing an enterprise-ready, robust runtime environment for FL applications.

With the integration of Flower and FLARE, applications developed with the Flower framework will run easily in FLARE runtime without needing to make any changes. All the user needs to do is configure the Flower application into a FLARE job and submit the job to the FLARE system.
