python - TensorFlow vs. Theano Performance -


in context of neural network research i'm evaluating several approaches on how implement these or library use. i'm comparing tensorflow , theano , i'm struggling getting tenorflow perform well. here simple hello-gradient-benchmark, optimizes scalar multiplication 1 coefficient.

import time  class timer:     def __init__(self, what):       self.what =     def __enter__(self):       self.t1 = time.time()       return self     def __exit__(self,t,v,tb):       t2 = time.time()       print("{0} runs {1:.4f} seconds".format(self.what, t2-self.t1))   def run_tensorflow():     import tensorflow tf     x = tf.placeholder(tf.float32)    y = tf.placeholder(tf.float32)    = tf.variable([1.], tf.float32)     sess = tf.session()    sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())     loss = (y-a*x)**2    step = tf.train.gradientdescentoptimizer(0.01).minimize(loss)     def one_step():       sess.run(step, {x:1.,y:0.})     timer('tensorflow') t:       result = [ one_step() n in range(1000) ]   def run_theano():     import theano th     x = th.tensor.dscalar()    y = th.tensor.dscalar()    = th.tensor.dscalar()    l = a*x     loss = (y-l)**2    dloss = th.tensor.grad(loss, a)    dloss_f = th.function([x,y,a], dloss)     = [1.]     def one_step():       a[0] -= 0.01 * dloss_f(1.,0.,a[0])     timer('theano') t:       result = [ one_step() n in range(1000) ]   run_tensorflow() run_theano()

i'm running program on cpu packages installed via pip. running times 0.36 , 0.043 seconds tensorflow , theano, respectively. see similar performance differences real networks matrix-multiplication overhead should dominate, still tensorflow slower.

i want know if i'm using tensorflow wrongly i'm trying do. should not call run() method within loop?

  1. tf , theano designed handling large objects, on order of 1m elements. benchmarking handling of scalars not particularly relevant.

  2. this apples-to-oranges comparison: tf, timing both compilation , run time, while in theano, timing run time! because when call theano.function, compilation then. otoh in tf, of work shifted when first call sess.run.

that said, there realistic scenarios when tf slower theano.

php - Vagrant up error - Uncaught Reflection Exception: Class DOMDocument does not exist -

i've set bento/ubuntu-16.04 vagrant box using php 5.6, , getting following error quite few times when try , run shell script: "uncaught reflection exception: class domdocument not exist". i've tried adding following top of script (not together), each no success: "sudo apt-get install php5.6-xml", "sudo apt-get install php5-xml", "sudo apt-get install php-dom" i've tried resetting server "sudo service apache2 restart". does have suggestions?

vue.js - Create hooks for automated testing -

Image
qa guys complained can't automate frontend testing. because our html looks same outside. lazy hack did this <template> <div :role="$options.name"> ... </div> </template> <script> export default { name: 'vmcomponentname' } </script> which takes name script , applies html. in browser get: <div role="vmcomponentname"> ... </div> line :role="$options.name" goes in every component. is there dry er solutions? please share. additional details i'll explain in details looking for. imagine have vmusercreate form creates user. test case can create user . to automatically test without role, have use following selector: .wrapper > .wrapper > .wrapper > .submit-button the test extremely brittle (will break lot). if use roles can use [role="vmusercreateform"] .submit-button selector. many folds less brittle. so basically, i'm ...

Add new key value to json node in java -

i have json file : { "id":1, "name":"abc", "addressdetails": { "city":"newyork" } } i wanted add 1 more key-value ("pincode" : "414141") node 'addressdetails'. i tried using : objectmapper mapper = new objectmapper(); jsonnode root = mapper.readtree(new file("d://test.json")); objectnode node = mapper.createobjectnode(); node.with("addressdetails").put("pincode", "414141"); but it's not getting added, there way can ? you can try you should modify file path objectmapper mapper = new objectmapper(); objectnode nodes = mapper.readvalue(new file("d:\\test.txt"), objectnode.class); nodes.with("addressdetails").put("pincode", "414141"); mapper.writer().writevalue(new file("d:\\test.txt"), nodes);
