MinPy: The NumPy Interface upon MXNet’s Backend

January 17, 2017 | DMLC

Machine learning is now enjoying its golden age. In the past few years, its effectiveness has been proved by solving many traditionally hard problems in computer vision and natural language processing. At the same time, different machine learning frameworks came out to justify different needs. These frameworks, fall generally into ...

GPU Accelerated XGBoost

December 13, 2016 | DMLC

GPU Accelerated XGBoost Decision tree learning and gradient boosting have until recently been the domain of multicore CPUs. Here we showcase a new plugin providing GPU acceleration for the XGBoost library. The plugin provides significant speedups over multicore CPUs for large datasets. The plugin can be found at: https://github....

Fusion and Runtime Compilation for NNVM and TinyFlow

November 20, 2016 | DMLC

Fusion and Runtime Compilation Today’s deep learning models perform tens of thousands of operations on GPU. The input and output of each GPU kernel has to be stored in the global memory, but read and write on global memory is much slower than on on-chip register. When some special ...
