C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice A Deep Learning Framework

Using the implementation of a deep learning framework as an example C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice: A Deep Learning Framework explains the application of metaprogramming in a relatively large project and emphasizes ways to optimize systems performance. The book is suitable for developers with a basic knowledge of C++. Developers familiar with mainstream deep learning frameworks can also refer to this book to compare the differences between the deep learning framework implemented with metaprogramming and compile-time computing with deep learning frameworks using object-oriented methods. Consisting of eight chapters the book starts with two chapters discussing basic techniques of metaprogramming and compile-time computing. The rest of the book’s chapters focus on the practical application of metaprogramming in a deep learning framework. It examines rich types and systems expression templates and writing complex meta-functions as well as such topics as: Heterogeneous dictionaries and policy templates An introduction to deep learning Type system and basic data types Operations and expression templates Basic layers Composite and recurrent layers Evaluation and its optimization Metaprogramming can construct flexible and efficient code. For C++ developers who are familiar with object-oriented programming the main difficulty in learning and mastering C++ metaprogramming is establishing the thinking mode of functional programming. The meta-programming approach involved at compile time is functional which means that the intermediate results of the construction cannot be changed and the impact may be greater than expected. This book enables C++ programmers to develop a functional mindset and metaprogramming skills. The book also discusses the development cost and use cost of metaprogramming and provides workarounds for minimizing these costs. | C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice A Deep Learning Framework

The model’s three dimensions are project lifecycle project management processes and finally competence sustainability and best practices. The book explains how to integrate these dimensions to manage a project across the three dimensions and the project stages. CAMMP™ is a stage-gate process which is vital for project success. The current state of practice in project management is not sustainable. The root causes of this problem include a lack of standardized processes missing methods or methodological approaches and no real organizational system for managing projects. This book introduces a system to address these shortcomings. It focuses on the elements of this system which is a practical and systematic methodological approach for managing and delivering all types of projects. CAMMP™ integrates the best learning from the various global associations in the field.
