The NVIDIA CUDA Deep Neural Network library (cuDNN) is a GPU-accelerated library of primitives for deep neural networks. cuDNN provides highly tuned implementations for standard routines such as forward and backward convolution, pooling, normalization, and activation layers. cuDNN is part of the NVIDIA Deep Learning SDK. You will need to register for NVIDIA developer account to download the source. Make sure you create the CUDA_HOME environment variable and add it to your ~/.bashrc. The default should be CUDA_HOME=/usr/share/cuda
