Hi there. I am currently working on backpropagation with CUDA acceleration. Does anybody have any idea if I call a thread for each dataset that will do the backprop for the entire network or if I then split each dataset up into other threads? The number of threads would then have to vary between layers and the kernel would be have to be called multiple times and would be very costly.

Are you using DIGITS?
I Don't have an answer for you but it may help you find one if you give a bit more details on your set up.
Wait are you working on CNNs?
>>55748288
I am using CNNs, training with stochastic gradient descent back propagation. I am not using DIGITS, I am developing our own soloution. It works great at this moment, but runs only on CPU.
I have working GPU code, but I am unsure how I would want this to work. I have looked at articles about parallelized back propagation with GPUs, but no specifics on how they are implemented. Wondering if a GPU thread for each dataset is the soloution that would scale the best.
Since the variable number of neurons per layer, I can't really have a thread for each neuron and dataset, and they would also have to be synchronized since each layers output depends on the previous layer.
I've never used cuda, but there is a very simple way to tell if the overhead from communication is too big
Do it without parallel processing then do it with, it if takes longer parallel you fucked up
Why don't Directors edit their own films? how hard is it to learn ?
>>55746433
Some star and produce, but it's probably easier to get funding if you have big-names in your posse.
Because there's probably hundreds of hours of footage of which only tiny portion goes into the final film. The director already decides what scenes go to the final film and will just delegate the menial work to unpaid interns.

kind of sad desu. he used to be better.
He was the king of r/buildapc when I first learned to build one. His content was pretty decent. Now there's a ton of youtube content that is way better and more in depth.

About to purchase a Chromecast. What are some cool things you can do with it?
I already have an IPTV subscription that I can cast to it, so no need for overpriced cable bullshit anymore. Plex apparently works fine, as does Spotify.
Any neat things or tips to share before I go off and buy one?
>>55746284
Yes
Tip 1: Chromecasts are a meme.
>>55746284

I just got my website project to properly handle forms both with PHP purely AND with AJAX
I'm pretty happy with that, b/c I'll be able to do most of the rest of everything now that that crap's outta da way.

You're missing the point here, it was to create something great with a "bad" programming language.
If I wanted to do it the easy way, I'd use C++ or Java or something instead.
>>55746276
See above.
>>55746278
Thank you for at least getting my point on the colors, but the point of these projects is to prove you don't have to have a modern programming language to make a decent game, and that sometimes programming doesn't have to be hard to learn.
Also keep in mind that most Batch programs look something like pic related.

Let us discuss the wonderful world of Etheruem and other decentralized platforms.
You are the cancer killing AMD. Fuck off back to /biz/
>The DAO’s code controls and sets forth all terms of The DAO Creation.
Someone makes use of the code controls and withdraws $43m worth of ether.
>sorry guys that's not what we wanted to happen
>hard fork ethereum
Those participating in a decentralised currency state they don't believe bailing out institutions too big to fail. Do it anyway.
This time ethereum might continue but the next time it will kill the project.

like i wanted to grab a cheap used sapphire r9 290 and maybe an i5 2550k??? etc etc but this is 100 bucks
shld i get the r9 with it anyways and just use the crosshair for a new build eventually as i get parts? or are the compatible cspus too dudu

Hi /g/
should I buy a nexus 5x or keep saving and buy an iPhone 6 which will be a better combination with my macbook ?
doing the transition from a nokia phone
I quite like my Nexus 5X. Does everything I need from a smartphone. If you're in the Apple ecosystem already or otherwise have any need for an iPhone, get that instead.
Just wait for the new Nexus phones coming out soon
>>55745950
>>55745940
the 32GB nexus 5x is for 240$ these days, thats about the average samsung shitty budget phone
just received this. what are some fun practical things I can do with it?
also anyone else got one? way do you use yours for?
>>55745835
Hook it up to power and ethernet, put it in a drawer and forget about it.
>>55745870
what's your problem
Step on it.
