How to start using the library ? #590
Description
Hi there
I am a beginner to neural networks...
Basically, I want to use this lib as replacement for NumPy to have gpu acceleration in my (simple) neural network... (implementation: https://github.com/makeyourownneuralnetwork/makeyourownneuralnetwork/blob/master/part2_neural_network.ipynb)
For example I am using:
numpy.random.normal
numpy.dot
numpy.array
numpy.transpose
I replaced numpy.array with pygpu.gpuarray.array but it is telling me TypeError: No context specified. - so I tried to create a gpu context beforehand (MacOS Intel iris 500 iGPU), but I have no idea how to successfully do that.
I tried to create a context from the pygpu.gpuarray.GpuContext class like so:
pygpu.gpuarray.GpuContext(kind="opencl") but I get: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'kind'

This library was developed for Theano. Both Theano and libgpuarray aren't developed and are barely maintained. I would suggest to find another maintained lib.
Maybe cupy or pycuda would do what you want. They are kind of NumPy on CUDA.
If you want a DL or neural networks library that behave in a way similar to NumPy, you could look at PyTorch.

Unable to configure gpu in my laptop. I am attaching screenshot of a error that i got while configuring gpu.
