Welcome!

Hello, Rober9876543210, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as OpenNN, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Proposed deletion of OpenNN

The article OpenNN has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No third party sources, no notabilty established despite 10 month old notability tags.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

OpenMP and OpenCL support

Hi! I saw that you added some entries on the Comparison of deep learning software, and introduced a new column called "OpenMP support". Just to be sure, do you know for a fact that no other of the listed software than Neural Designer and OpenNN supports OpenMP, and that Theano doesn't support OpenCL? If so, how? I haven't been trying to find out whether they do myself, but I just want to make sure we don't jump to conclusions and say they don't have that support when they actually do. —Kri (talk) 21:27, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, many thanks for your comments! I did some research on that tools by looking at their source code. Sometimes, CPUs and GPUs support is under development, and it is not clear whether we should say Yes or No. Also, these aspects are rapidly changing and the information at the documentation might be confusing.

This is what I found:

Caffe: The source code at GitHub does not seem to call any OpenMP clauses.
Neural Designer: Its learning engine makes use of OpenNN, which it supports CPU parallelization by means of OpenMP.
OpenNN: The source code at GitHub does make use of OpenMP pragmas.
TensorFlow: The source code at GitHub does not seem to call any OpenMP clauses.
Theano: The source code at GitHub contains some OpenMP clauses to parallelize some element-wise tensor operations through BLAS. However, I am not sure that speeds up the deep learning algorithms. On the other hand, the documentation says that OpenCL support is under development, but this support is still in its infancy.
Torch: The source code at GitHub makes some calls to OpenMP.

I have updated the article and selected the "Watch this page" box in order to contrast that information.

Okay, thank you very much! Could we add these findings as footnotes on the page? —Kri (talk) 06:15, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
