What is the relationship between iteration and epoch? #103

Open MHDBST opened 8 years ago

MHDBST commented 8 years ago

It is about 5 days I am running the machine translation example on GPU (GTX 780 ) and I have achieved 15 epochs and 5070 iterations. I am confused whether it is logical or not (both about number of iterations and number of epochs ) and What is their relationship at all? Maybe I am running incorrectly and not using GPU. Should I change any specific setting to run on GPU or it use GPU by default?
