Based on the text you apparently couldn't be bothered to read, for AlexNet, a forward pass on 128 images (Input 128x3x224x224) takes ~25 milliseconds (ignoring O(n) dropout and softmax where n is 128). I'll let you do the math fo

So from what I've heard unofficially from friends at NVIDIA, they've been pretty hard to work with such that NVIDIA just ended up making their own fork of Caffe for use within DIGITS. https://github.com/NVIDIA&#x2F

IMO no it wasn't. Ring reductions are the sort of things the MPI guys had a decade ago. This is (once again IMO) the sort of thing that happens when one doesn't do lit searches and then Juergen Schmidhuber has a temper tantrum w

"The current implementation uses a tree reduction strategy. e.g. if there are 4 GPUs in the system, 0:1, 2:3 will exchange gradients, then 0:2 (top of the tree) will exchange gradients, 0 will calculate updated model, 0->2, and then

Fair enough, but when neither Intel nor AMD is bothering to put out competitive software/hardware solutions for deep learning, which is apparently going to be a ~$40B market by 2020, I predict continued dominance here. That said, sinc

The most interesting thing about AMD is their ability to create GPUs with superior synthetic specs than their NVIDIA competitor and yet they lose across the board in anything but embarrassingly parallel applications. Not only do they lose,

Exactly. I eat pretty healthy, but I like food. Sure, I could starve myself and be miserable. But why do that when exercise solves the problem and it has all sorts of other positive side effects? So I can sit on my butt all day like the

"As you age there is no amount of exercise that will allow you to maintain the amount you weigh in you 20's or 30's." This seems overly general and anecdotally total BS. I still eat what I like just like I did in my 20s

IMO if you're working more than 50 hours a week and you don't own at least 3% of the eventual outcome, you should consider a less stressful position. Don't short change your health and well-being for a lower expected return

I get up from my desk and go to the gym mid-day or I do so at the end of the work day depending on my flow. Also, I've cut most meetings out of my life, especially pointless time-eaters like daily scrum. Also: 1. No kids 2. I only wat

So add penance points for daily exercise milestones as measured by a fitness tracker and it'll be the next thing(tm), no?

Extending the Christian motif and treating obesity as a sin, one could consider the extra work needed to keep off the weight as penance, no? I'm smelling a new California quack religion(tm) already.

Extreme diligence seems to be the only way to fight this. If I stop exercising, the pounds pack on within weeks. If I insure I burn at least 3000 calories a day (usually much more), I can maintain my weight indefinitely. But I walk to wo

Yes, NVIDIA GPU SIMD units are 32-wide (also called a warp), AMD GPU units are 64-wide, and Intel is anything from 4-16 depending on what processor you're using. CUDA/OpenCL allow one to query this width and optimize one's k

To be fair, Java programmers sweat annotation bullets to cajole the JIT to make Java code perform to within 50% of equivalent C code so getting this kind of performance from the get-go seems like a pretty good deal to me. See also maxas ver

Both of the pieces at the top of the article sound like off-key broken record renditions of the main refrain of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" to me. It's like the RNN cannot hold enough state to express the structure of

Wouldn't it have been nice if he indicated which sequences came from the RNN and which came from the HMM? My guess is that the HMM would generate more feasible (though not necessarily better and in fact quite constrained) sequences gi

IMO and experience, the best way to build a team is to exploit comparative advantage so that the whole is stronger than any of its parts. Assuming you've avoided hiring a sociopath, group cohesion follows from everyone having a critic
