Runtime evaluations on different hardware configurations #7

Closed elliottd closed 9 years ago

elliottd commented 9 years ago

I ran a job in CPU mode last night, which was a fortunate accident.

I now have the following running time information to share with @scfrank and @ehasler:

LSTM with --hidden _size=256, --optimiser=adagrad, on the IAPR-TC12 German dataset with no source language features.

Hardware Time / epoch
Tesla K20X 9 minutes
14 cores Intel Xeon E5-2650 16 minutes

(I have export OMP_NUM_THREADS=14 in ~/.basrc, the machine has 32 cores over four physical CPUs.)

This may be relevant for CPU/GPU comparisons: https://github.com/Theano/Theano/issues/3029 https://github.com/Theano/Theano/issues/3321
