collenchyma-NN •

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

collenchyma-NN was started at Autumn to support the Machine Intelligence Framework Leaf with backend-agnostic, state-of-the-art performance.

For more information,

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

Provided Operations

This Plugins provides the following operations to the Collenchyma 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 native Rust operations.

Getting Started

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

[dependencies]
collenchyma = "0.0.8"
collenchyma-nn = "0.3.4"

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

$ cargo add collenchyma-nn

Usage

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

extern crate collenchyma as co;
extern crate collenchyma_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 Collenchyma 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);
}
