The NVIDIA® CUDA® Toolkit provides a comprehensive development environment for C and C++ developers building GPU-accelerated applications. The CUDA Toolkit includes a compiler for NVIDIA GPUs, math libraries, and tools for debugging and optimizing the performance of your applications. You’ll also find programming guides, user manuals, API reference, and other documentation to help you get started quickly accelerating your application with GPUs.
The installation of CUDA Toolkit 7.5 is installed at /opt/cuda/
.
Theano is a Python library that allows you to define, optimize, and evaluate mathematical expressions involving multi-dimensional arrays efficiently. It is currently installed for both python2 and python3. You should be able to just type import theano
at the top of your python script to use it's functionality.
In order to use Theano with basic configuration, you may need to create a config file for your user if it does not inherit settings.
In your home directory, create a file called .theanorc
with the following contents:
