- | + | ||
- | In the field of Machine Learning, numerical optimization techniques play a focal role. However, as models grow larger, traditional implementations on single-core CPUs suffer from sequential execution causing a severe slow-down. In this thesis, state-of-the-art GPU frameworks (e.g. CUDA) are to be investigated in order implement numerical optimizers that substantially profit from parallel execution. | + | |
