Yes: https://neanderthal.uncomplicate.org/articles/getting_starte... And just to be sure, choose option 2 under that heading (add the folder with appropriate dlls to PATH)

Sure. I agree. You as a company have to look at your bottom line above all. Nothing wrong with that. Please also note that Neanderthal also has hundreds of operations. The set of use cases where it scratches itches might be wider and more g

You're right. In that particular case, ND4J comes to Neanderthal's speed. But only in that particular case; and even then ND4J is still not faster than Neanderthal. My initial quest was to find out whether ND4J can be faster than

Neanderthal handles C order in cuBLAS without problems, though. Thanks for the explanation. I used the code that ND4J guys provided, assuming that they'd do the right thing. Also read my response to crockpotveggies: provide the ND4J co

While this is a good explanation, keep in mind that: 1. This is the benchmark that you provided, so while this might be not obvious to the average user, it also seems to not be obvious to the above average user that wrote the benchmark. I w

Another reason might be that in Europe soccer is considered a rather masculine sport. Very few girls even consider playing it. Girls usually play volleyball, handball, etc. but a girl that kicks the ball with a foot would be strangely looke

I am a speaker of a Slavic language other than Russian, speak some russian, read Gulag Archipelago in English, and found it to flow wonderfully. OTOH, I never liked the style of Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, and most other Russian classics. So mayb

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is a good book, but nothing like the Gulag Archipelago. Ivan Denisovich was officially supported by the USSR in a brief period after Stalin's death, as a book that talks about the imprisonment, bu

It's long, but very interesting. It's much better to read it whole, than some abridged version.

I have friends in Eastern Orthodox monasteries. They nap a lot during prayers.

Many of them (if not all) simply nap during those hours of meditations and prayers.

I've just checked: there are plenty of direct flights each day from Berlin to New York for example. It is not the central hub like Frankfurt is, but I doubt you won't fly to Berlin because it does not have enough infrastructur

My comment does not implicate that you as a single person necessary have to succumb to this, at least immediately, or that you are not a good person in any way. By you, I implied every person using that technology over time, including me,

Serbian (and other smaller nations) in Austria-Hungary were under what you would call imperial dominance. In Ottoman Turkey, it was definitely much heavier. In many ways, local Christian population in Balkans was literally enslaved. That&#x

I think we agree more than we disagree. My comment was mentioned to highlight that in many practical ways, the Christian population was practically enslaved to the Muslim overlords (regardless whether them being "real" Turks, or,
