The neural network has ~58 million parameters and I will benchmark the performance by running it for 10 epochs on a dataset with ~10k 256x256 images loaded via generator with image augmentation. The test will compare the speed of a fairly standard task of training a Convolutional Neural Network using tensorflow=2.0.0-rc1 and tensorflow-gpu=2.0.0-rc1. 8 core Ryzen 2700x CPU (16 threads, 20MB cache, 4.3GHz max boost).In this test, I am using a local machine with: Since using GPU for deep learning task has became particularly popular topic after the release of NVIDIA’s Turing architecture, I was interested to get a closer look at how the CPU training speed compares to GPU while using the latest TF2 package. TensorFlow 2 has finally became available this fall and as expected, it offers support for both standard CPU as well as GPU based deep learning.
