MyCaffe 0.11.1.56-beta1

MyCaffe AI Platform and Test Application (CUDA 11.1.0, cuDNN 8.0.4) with Single-Shot Multi-Box Object Detection and ONNX AI Model Support (onnx.ai).

CUDA 11.1.0, cuDNN 8.0.4, nvapi 450, Native Caffe up to 10/24/2018, Windows 10-1909, Driver 456.71

MyCaffe[1] (a complete C# re-write of CAFFE[2]) now supports object detection with Single-Shot Multi-Box as described by [3][4]! For video examples, see Using Object Detection AI Single-Shot Multi-Box to Track Airplanes and Single-Shot Multi-Box AI takes on Mountain Biking the Kleeway, Hood River

For more information on Single-Shot Multi-Box Detection, also see the latest SignalPop Blog on SSD.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When using TCC mode, we recommend that ALL headless GPU’s are placed in TCC mode for we have experienced stability issues when using a mix of TCC and WDM modes with headless GPU’s.

REQUIRED SOFTWARE to use MyCaffe: 1.) Download and install full version of Microsoft SQL Express 2016 (or later). NOTE: The full version of SQL Express must be installed as opposed to the light version included in Visual Studio. Microsoft SQL Express can be downloaded from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads

REQUIRED SOFTWARE to build MyCaffe: 1.) Install NVIDIA CUDA 11.1.0 which you can download from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads 2.) Install NVIDIA cuDNN 8.0.4 which you can download from https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn

This release of the MyCaffe AI Platform and Test Applications has the following new additions: • CUDA 11.1.0/cuDNN 8.0.4 supported (with driver 456.71 or above). • Windows 1909, OS Build 18363.1139 now supported. • Upgraded all builds to Visual Studio 2019. • Added ArgMin support to ArgMax layer. • Added MIN support to Eltwise layer. • Added new MathLayer with support for Acos, Acosh, Cos, Cosh, Asin, Asinh, Sin, Sinh, Atan, Atanh, Tan and Tanh • Added ArgMin, ArgMax and Min support to Onnx conversion. • Added Acos, Acosh, Cos, Cosh, Asin, Asinh, Sin, Sinh, Atan, Atanh, Tann and Tanh support to Onnx conversion. • Added compatibility with International versions of Windows 10. • Optimized Debug layer reshape. • Optimized BachNormLayer reshape. • Optimized SigmoidLayer, TanhLayer, ReluLayer, PreluLayer and EluLayer reshape.

The following bug fixes are in this release: • Fixed database transient errors with new connection strategy for Distributed AI. • Fixed bugs in SSD support.

Easily run Single-Shot Multi-Box Nets[3][4], import/export ONNX AI Models, run Triplet Nets[5][6], run Siamese Nets[7][8], Neural Style, train Deep Q-Learning or Policy Gradient models to beat Pong or Cart-Pole, or create the CIFAR-10 and MNIST datasets using the MyCaffe Test Application which you can download from the MyCaffe GitHub site.

Schedule distributed AI work packages, or create and train Single-Shot Multi-Box[3][4], Triplet Net[5][6], Siamese Net[7][8], Deep Q-Learning with NoisyNet and Experienced Replay, Policy Gradient, Neural Style Transfer, Recurrent Learning, Policy Gradient Reinforcement Learning, Auto-Encoder, DANN and ResNet models by following step-by-step instructions in the SignalPop Tutorials. And, to see other cool examples that show what MyCaffe can do, see the SignalPop Examples.

If you would like to visually design, develop, test and debug your models, see the SignalPop AI Designer specifically designed to enhance your MyCaffe deep learning.

Also, check out the SignalPop Universal Miner that not only keeps your GPU's cool as you train, but also gives you detailed information on each of your GPU's (such as temperature, fan speed, overclock, and usage), and allows you to easily mine Ethereum. When not training AI, put those GPU's to use making some Ether - never let a good GPU go to waste!
