## Description

Acme is a reinforcement learning framework and execution engine designed for developing and benchmarking learning algorithms. It provides a library of modular components and reference implementations used to construct agents and establish performance baselines.

The system enables the scaling of agent architectures from single-stream execution to large distributed environments. This allows for the transition from initial prototyping to distributed execution for training and evaluation.

The framework covers reinforcement learning development and agent architecture prototyping, providing the building blocks necessary for benchmarking new models against standard reference agents.
