Application case study—machine learning
Boris Ginsburg
Abstract
This chapter provides an application study of how CUDA and GPU computing helped to enable deep learning and revolutionize the field of machine learning. It starts by introducing the basic concepts of convolutional neural networks (CNN). It then shows the CNN code examples that have been accelerated with CUDA. The chapter concludes with an explanation of how the cuDNN library uses a matrix multiplication formulation of the convolution layer computation to improve the speed and utilization of the GPU.
