Both can be made to work quite well for various ANN implementations. Currently GPGPU is a lot more popular because it requires far less hardware knowledge to get going, which translates into much quicker development cycles. For example, the

Heh, no problem. Not sure why I decided to post here instead of just doing it there. Nice lib, though. I'll keep it in mind.

In the usage example for the C lib, you have 'uint8_t *str = rope_createcstr(rope, NULL);' Did you mean 'r' instead of 'rope'?

Did they actually claim it was a general purpose computer? I have been following them for some time now (albeit not like a hawk) and everything I've seen from them was pretty clear in indicating that they took a different approach, i.e. adi

Coincidentally, D-wave's offices are located in Burnaby, BC, about a 10 minute drive from the offices of General Fusion, another company trying to crack the power-from-nuclear-fusion nut. They too have gotten a lot of flak for their claims

Bokeh, and it was a complete vertical slice through the stocks "dataframe"... so one point for how every many tickers there are... probably around 3300? It's a lot of points, but I was just pointing out that it wasn't slow, it failed.

Thanks for correcting me, both of you. Goes to show that you can't trust everything people say on the internet :-) Seriously though, great work on your whole product suite! I keep finding myself going "I wish it would.... oh, it does.", an

To take that a step further, Continuum Analytics has a product called Wakari[1] that is pretty much a web-based, sandboxed, nicely glued together version of everything mentioned in this thread: python environment, IDE, IPython notebook, int

There is Disco[1], which is a MR framework written in Python and Erlang. It's open source and pretty awesome, and if I'm not mistaken it will leverage multi-core processors, no need for a cluster. [1] http://discoproject.org/about

PCA and other similar forms of dimensionality reduction are used all over the place, from healthcare to control systems to financial analysis. These days it is most often used as a preprocessing step for some other analysis routine, though.

Looking at what's on there, I'm really not convinced. You could not get through an physics, engineering or math program on the material that is there, not even close. If I search for, say, complex analysis, all of the material I get is abou

This has a lot of potential, but doesn't seem to be functional yet. That is to say, a partially functional EDA software is pretty much useless. I just tried to work up part of a board I'm designing right now using the interface, and was sto

It's interesting seeing the negative responses every time a 3D printing post comes up. It seems a common sentiment that 3D printers are somehow just an industrial thing, or otherwise only good for hobbyists. I disagree. I've used several di

I've yet to meet a good mathematician who didn't know more about probability and statistics than 90% of the folks who call themselves statisticians. Math is math. This myth that math geeks can't tell you anything useful is rather irritating
