Re: Tensorflow 0.6.0 Release

The link to convnet benchmarks is a 30 day old issue, with numbers that look significantly worse than native CUDNNv2. Are there more up-to-date numbers? I'm really looking forward to updated CUDNN and CUDA 7.5 support. My machines are all configured for Theano, and I've been sorta waiting to try TensorFlow until I can install it without downgrading everything, as it was tricky to get things working and I'd rather not…

There will eventually be more up to date numbers -- we can only ask so much of Soumith's time. In addition, getting on par with cudnnv2 is just the first step. cudnnv3/v4 and cuda7.5 are next up.

I can't get the original public release running on Ubuntu 15.04. Obscure install error with no online remedy prescription.

The original public release was great to identify many potential installation issues that we couldn't possibly test ahead of time -- hopefully this next upcoming release will address some of your issues.

Otherwise, please file an issue at github and we'll do our best to help!

Need OpenCL support. Please don't contribute to maintaining CUDA monopoly.

Unfortunately, that ship sailed years ago. Also, NVIDIA is heavily investing in deep learning (cudnn), so this won't happen unless someone in OpenCL builds something equally/more performant.

Cool, I'm actually happy to hear that the numbers are out of date, I just wasn't sure. Can't wait for the next update, development is moving fast!

Somebody like Google?
