Training Neural Networks using GPU computing

I was just wondering if it is possible to train a neural network using the GPU, I read from another answer that parallel computing can be used to train multiple networks but that is cannot be applied to a single neural network.

Answer 1

Hi Andre,

The functionality to train neural networks on GPUs is not supported by MATLAB R2011b.

Answer 2

I think that would be a great feature to have out of the box.

In the meantime, I read this paper which talks a bit about it, you might find it interesting:
