coaster-NN •

coaster-NN provides Neural Network related algorithms for coaster. Run NN operations on servers, desktops or mobiles, GPUs, FPGAs or CPUS, without carrying about OpenCL or CUDA support on the machine.

It powers Juice.

For more information,

• see coaster-NN's Documentation
• visit coaster for more information about portable operations and other Plugins.
• or get in touch on Gitter

Provided Operations

This Plugins provides the following operations to the coaster Backend. Every Operation includes forward + backward. A - means not yet implemented. More information can be found in the Documentation.

Kudos to ehiggs, for implementing the initial native Rust operations.

Getting Started

If you're using Cargo, just add coaster-NN to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
coaster = "0.2"
coaster-nn = "0.4"

If you're using Cargo Edit, you can call:

$ cargo add coaster-nn

Usage

Bring the Plugin trait and the other important coaster traits/structs in scope and you will be able to execute the here provided operations on your coaster Backend.

extern crate coaster as co;
extern crate coaster_nn as nn;
use co::prelude::*;
use nn::*;
fn main() {
    // Initialize a CUDA Backend.
    let backend = Backend::<Cuda>::default().unwrap();
    // Initialize two SharedTensors.
    // Usually you would want also fill them with data.
    // More infos about that in the coaster README.md
    let mut x = SharedTensor::<f32>::new(backend.device(), &(1, 1, 3)).unwrap();
    let mut result = SharedTensor::<f32>::new(backend.device(), &(1, 1, 3)).unwrap();
    // Use the operation provided by this Plugin.
    backend.sigmoid(&mut x, &mut result);
}
