NVIDIA Deep Learning Course: Class #5 - Getting started with Torch7

Torch is a scientific computing framework. It uses an easy and fast scripting language called Lua, but accesses a very fast underlying C/CUDA implementation with transparent GPU integration. Torch has become very popular with the Deep Learning development community, especially in large web companies. This is due to it’s large ecosystem of community-driven packages including machine learning, computer vision and signal processing among others. Torch also supports training of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) over multiple-GPUs.
