Introduction

This is a library that tries to make creating neural networks as easy as possible by being as similar to Python/NumPy as possible. It borrows heavily from Theano and CNN. If you find it useful, or want to help improve it, please let me (David Chiang) know!

See README.md for installation instructions.

Loading

To load the package (note, don’t import * from both numpy and penne, as they have many symbols in common):

import numpy
from penne import *

GPU support

If you want to enable the GPU, call use_gpu(). This function takes a single argument, a device name:

• "cuda" (default): first available CUDA device
• "cuda0", "cuda1", etc.: CUDA device 0, 1, etc.
• "opencl0:1": OpenCL platform 0 device 1

See the documentation for pygpu.init() for more information.
