   The performance graph is deceptive for two reasons: (1) Leaf with CuDNN v3 is a little slower than Torch with CuDNN v3, yet the bar for leaf is positioned to the left of the one for Torch, and (2) there's a bar for Leaf with CuDNN v4,

   I've used Blaze for machine learning applications, where I've relied on the performance of elementwise operations and dense matrix multiplication on a single machine (the results advertised in the benchmark). Eigen has more functi

   Thanks, I tried finding the link to the Bitbucket repository but I had a hard time finding the link via Google.

   I'm guessing that's the point at which the working set exceeds the L1 cache size. You can see a few more subtle dips in the performance graph at later points; these correspond to working set spilling out of the L2 and L3 caches.

   I've had great success with Blaze, despite the fact that it has received little publicity compared to alternatives like Eigen, Armadillo, etc. Blaze is consistently the leader of the pack in benchmarks, and even outperforms Intel MKL o

   If you want to generate LaTeX from Markdown, you can use Pandoc. Pandoc has various extensions to regular Markdown (including inline math, tables, etc.), so this gives you some flexibility when producing more complicated types of documents

   I found a lot of examples in the full manual here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simoncozens/sile/master/do... The syntax is very similar to LaTeX, but it's more modern in that it has native support

    This is an important statement and should be upvoted more. Case in point: "the Weierstrass approximation theorem states that every continuous function defined on a closed interval [a, b] can be uniformly approximated as closely as desi

    Interest in development of C++ has never been more vigorous. Representatives from more companies than ever before are getting involved in C++ standardization and giving talks: see http://cppcon.org for details. There are now num
