But if you really want to optimize deep learning and it depends on the skill, I'm talkingskill of like hundreds of GPUs or thousands,. If you're talking about single GPU or a few, I think that's very straightforward to optimize. To optimize something like multi-node training where you have thousands ofGPUs is another matter.
