Core Concepts

Dolphin is a tool for CUDA-accelerated computing in a deep learning context. It is designed to be used as a library. Its purpose is to gather the most common optimisation techniques for deep learning inference and make them available in a simple and easy to use interface.

Overview

Dolphin provides a set of classes implementing CUDA-accelerated operations. The base class dolphin.darray is an object manipulating a CUDA array. It provides a set of numpy like methods to perform operations on the array.

The dolphin.dimage part is the part of the library dedicated to image processing. It provides a set of methods to manipulate images which are the ones providing the most speed up compared to common CPU implementations.

Simplicity

Dolphin is meant to provide a simple and easy to use interface for deep learning inference application, centralizing the most common optimisation techniques in a single library in order to have an easy-to-use optimized library.
