Ask HN: Can I use convolutional neural networks to clasify videos on a CPU
Is there any way that I can use conv nets to classify videos on a CPU. I do not have GPUs but I want to classify videos.
There's a table with runtime comparisons for a convnet here: https://github.com/ryanjay0/miles-deep/ (GPU CuDNN: 15s, GPU: 19s, CPU: 159s)

You can, but it will be very slow.
