What are the advantages of using Torch7 over Julia?
- bufo 12y agoJulia doesn't yet have strong support for running stuff on GPUs.
- fyolnish 12y agoTorch/LuaJIT does?
- justincormack 12y agoLuaJIT certainly doesn't at this point; not sure whether torch uses some libraries that do...
- ihnorton 12y agoSupport is, indeed, nascent; but it is coming along well: https://github.com/JuliaGPU https://github.com/JuliaGPU
- otoburb 12y agoI thought LuaJIT and other Lua runtimes are great for scripting and embedded environments, while Julia focused primarily on being a MATLAB replacement (i.e. desktop environments). EDIT: Based on comments in the thread, seems both could do the same job but Torch7 has libraries that make running on GPUs easier vs. Julia.
