Adapt DeepCL to be able for replacing cuDNN in caffe #53

Closed inferrna closed 8 years ago

inferrna commented 8 years ago

There is at least two tries to make caffe using OpenCL https://github.com/naibaf7/caffe https://github.com/lunochod/caffe

Now caffe focused on using CUDA as GPU backend. In addition to own *.cu code it uses NVIDIA's proprietary cuDNN library, which is similar to DeepCL (at least by destination and realized layers). Would you please thinking about to do some job to make some kind of wrapper which can be cuDNN replacement for caffe?

I think caffe has enough opencl implementations for now ;-) Fabian, Robert and Junli have done excellent jobs on creating opencl implementations for caffe. The open challenge for caffe opencl is not so much technical implementation, as these already exist, as stated, so much as merging to master.

In the meantime all the available caffe forks are, according to my understanding, perfectly usable, right now, without being merged to master.

=> closing this issue.
