How can users get started using the BIC’s new GPU processors in their image pipelines?

2

Using the SGE batch system with the queue gpu.q:

qsub -q gpu.q your_script.sh

I’ve used Theano for training artificial neural networks on this machine, if anyone has more specific questions. There’s also some documentation here: http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/tutorial/using_gpu.html

Otherwise I asked ChatGPT (https://chat.openai.com/chat) The following question:

Give me a plan to learn about theano and deep learning.

I’ll spare you the answer as it was quite long and elaborate, not exactly what is needed here, but then I asked the following:

Do you know of any online tutorials regarding theano and deep learning ?

  1. Theano documentation: The official Theano documentation is a great resource for learning about the library. It includes tutorials, examples, and API documentation.

  2. Deep Learning with Theano: This is a free online book that provides an introduction to deep learning with Theano. It covers the basics of neural networks and how to implement them using Theano.

  3. Udemy courses: Udemy offers several courses on deep learning with Theano, including “Deep Learning with Theano and TensorFlow” and “Theano: A Comprehensive Tutorial.”

  4. Coursera courses: Coursera also offers several courses on deep learning with Theano, including “Deep Learning” and “Neural Networks and Deep Learning.”

  5. TensorFlow and Theano tutorials by Brandon Rohrer: Brandon Rohrer has created several YouTube tutorials on deep learning with TensorFlow and Theano. They cover a range of topics, from basics to advanced techniques.

  6. Kaggle tutorials: Kaggle offers several tutorials on deep learning using Theano. They cover a range of topics, from image classification to natural language processing.
