Budget Linux utility server

I often run out of hard drive space and was looking for a storage server that could also function as a spare CPU compute machine and virtualization test environment. Servers that fit this bill are Dell and HP rack and tower servers. Ideally I would like to get a modern…

Pytorch frameworks, a few comparissons

Catalyst, Fastai, Ignite and Pytorch-Lightning are all amazing frameworks but which one should I use for project x? I have been asking myself the same question and it is not an easy answer. There are several factors at play and framework selection also depends on your background. I will outline…

Pytorch tensor operations

This post covers some of the key operations used in pytorch argmax Returns the indices of the maximum value of all elements in the input tensor. This is the second value returned by torch.max() a = torch.randn(4, 3) a >> tensor([[ 2.0149, 1.0420, -1.3816]…

Numpy Axes

This post covers a quick overview of axes in numpy (NB both numpy and pytorch use same representation) import numpy as np Axes 2D matrices For both numpy and pytorch, axis 0 = row, 1 = column Note how when we specify axis=0 for sum, we are collapsing along that (row) axis np.sum([[1…

Batch Norm and Transfer Learning — whats going on?

A commonly used technique in deep-learning is transfer-learning, whereby the learned weights of a model that was pre-trained on one dataset are used to ‘bootstrap’ training of early or all but the the final layer of a modified version of the model applied to a different dataset. This technique allows…

Watercooling a Deep Learning Machine

This is an article documenting the lessons I have learnt building two watercooled deep learning boxes. There are plenty of youtube videos and articles about watercooling gaming rigs, there is much less information about multi-GPU water-cooling setups. If you research what type of GPU’s to use for multi-GPU deep learning…
