Optimizing compiler for evaluating mathematical expressions on CPUs and GPUs.
Project description
Theano is a Python library that allows you to define, optimize, and efficiently evaluate mathematical expressions involving multi-dimensional arrays. It is built on top of NumPy_. Theano features:
* **tight integration with NumPy:** a similar interface to NumPy's. numpy.ndarrays are also used internally in Theano-compiled functions.
* **transparent use of a GPU:** perform data-intensive computations up to 140x faster than on a CPU (support for float32 only).
* **efficient symbolic differentiation:** Theano can compute derivatives for functions of one or many inputs.
* **speed and stability optimizations:** avoid nasty bugs when computing expressions such as log(1+ exp(x) ) for large values of x.
* **dynamic C code generation:** evaluate expressions faster.
* **extensive unit-testing and self-verification:** includes tools for detecting and diagnosing bugs and/or potential problems.
Theano has been powering large-scale computationally intensive scientific
research since 2007, but it is also approachable enough to be used in the
classroom (IFT6266 at the University of Montreal).

Modifications in the trunk since the last release
Partial of what is in trunk since the last release
--------------------------------------------------
Deprecation:
* tag.shape attribute deprecated (#633)
* FAST_RUN_NOGC mode deprecated
* CudaNdarray_new_null is deprecated in favour of CudaNdarray_New
Bugs fixed:
* Bugfix in CudaNdarray.__iadd__. When it is not implemented, return the error.
* Typo fixed in tensor/opt.py
* THEANO_FLAGS='optimizer=None' now works as expected
* Fixed memory leak in error handling on GPU-to-host copy
* Fix relating specifically to Python 2.7 on Mac OS X
* infer_shape can now handle Python longs
* Fixed behaviour of pydotprint's max_label_size option
Crash fixed:
* Work around a bug in gcc 4.3.0 that make the compilation of 2d convolution
crash.
Optimization:
* Optimize 4 pattern of subtensor followed by subtensor.
* Gemm inplace optimization on the GPU re-enabled
GPU:
* Move to the gpu fused elemwise that have other dtype then float32 in them
(except float64) if the input and output are float32.
* This allow to move elemwise comparisons to the GPU if we cast it to
float32 after that.
* Implemented CudaNdarray.ndim to have the same interface in ndarray.
* Fixed slowdown caused by multiple chained views on CudaNdarray objects
* CudaNdarray_alloc_contiguous changed so as to never try to free
memory on a view: new "base" property
* Safer decref behaviour in CudaNdarray in case of failed allocations
* New GPU implementation of tensor.basic.outer
New features:
* ProfileMode
* profile the scan overhead
* simple hook system to add profiler
* reordered the output to be in the order of more general to more specific
* var[vector of index] now work, (grad work recursively, the direct grad
work inplace, gpu work)
* limitation: work only of the outer most dimensions.
* test_value implementation to allow quick debugging at graph creation time
* cuda.root inferred if nvcc is on the path, otherwise defaults to
/usr/local/cuda
* Better graph printing for graphs involving a scan subgraph
*
Documentation:
* Better commenting of cuda_ndarray.cu
* Fixes in the scan documentation: add missing declarations/print statements
* Better error message on failed __getitem__
* Updated documentation on profile mode
Unit tests:
* More strict float comparaison by default
* Reuse test for subtensor of tensor for gpu tensor(more gpu test)
* Tests that check for aliased function inputs and assure appropriate copying
(#374)
* Better test of copies in CudaNdarray
* New tests relating to the new base pointer requirements
Other:
* ?? a bug?? Correctly put the broadcast flag to True in the output var of
a Rehapse op when we receive an int 1 in the new shape.
* pydotprint: high contrast mode is now the default
* More compact printing (ignore leading "Composite" in op names)
(To be continued...)
