Using the cuDNN package, you can increase training speeds by upwards of 44%, with over 6x speedups in Torch and Caffe. The cuDNN library: A GPU-accelerated library of primitives for deep neural networks.This toolkit includes a compiler specifically designed for NVIDIA GPUs and associated math libraries + optimization routines. The NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit: A development environment for building GPU-accelerated applications.If you already have an NVIDIA supported GPU, then the next logical step is to install two important libraries:
And the more GPUs you have, the better off you are. If you’re serious about doing any type of deep learning, you should be utilizing your GPU rather than your CPU.
