About

This blog serves to document my work for the 2016 Google Summer of Code project GPU-accelerated deep neural network in TMVA for the Software Development for Experiments (SFT) group at CERN.

The Toolkit for Multivariate Data Analysis in ROOT (TMVA) is a ROOT machine learning environment, which has been developed specifically for high-energy physics applications. An implementation of deep neural networks (DNNs) has recently been added to TMVA and the aim of this project is to extend the current implementation to enable GPU accelerated training of deep neural networks.
