Low cost GPU based neural network simulates the brain

http://stanford.edu/~acoates/papers/CoatesHuvalWangWuNgCatanzaro_icml2013.pdf

In a new paper, Stanford’s Andrew Ng describes how to use graphics microprocessors to build a $20,000 computerized brain that is similar to the cat-detector he developed with Google last year for $1M.

To test his hypothesis about GPU-driven Deep Learning, he also built a larger version of the platform for $100,000.  It utilized 64 Nvidia GTX 680 GPUs on 16 computers. It was able to accomplish the same cat-spotting tasks as the Google system, which needed 1,000 computers to operate.  That system, modeling the activities and processes of the human brain, was able to learn what a cat looks like, and then translate that knowledge into spotting different cats across multiple YouTube videos.

    HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I
    wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  12. Pretty! This has been an extremely wonderful post.
    Many thanks for supplying this information.

  13. Thanks for finally writing about > Low cost GPU based neural network simulates the brain | ApplySci DISCOVERIES < Liked it!

  14. What’s up friends, pleasant paragraph and pleasant urging commented at this place, I am in fact
    enjoying by these.

  15. Highly descriptive blog, I enjoyed that bit. Will there be a part 2?
