Deep Learning
With CUDA Hardware Acceleration

Purpose

Please read the Disclaimers before proceeding.

Deep learning with CUDA and cuDNN acceleration can significantly improve your productivity. Depending on the GPU you buy, Tensor Flow can run between 20 and 30 times faster than the 2020 MacBook Pro 16.

Workflow Overview

Alternate packages

None at this time.

Steps

CUDA libraries 10.0 and 10.1 are pre-installed. Open a terminal and type kfocus-001-conda to install and test GPU-accelerated TensorFlow, MXNet, Jupyter Notebook, Keras, and Pytorch in a full Anaconda environment.
