    • This looks really cool. Are there any papers that describe neural networks that function in a manner similar to how this library works?

    • Actually, that's exactly how they speed up neural networks, especially deep neural networks. Andrew Ng showed that they could run the Google Brain on COTS GPUs for about $21,000…
