The training set contained about 1.2 million photographs in 1000 classes. They built a deep convolutional network (CNN) with five convolutional and three fully connected layers. The network has approximately 60 million parameters.

Pure data parallelism must exchange many parameters, and pure model parallelism must exchange many activations. Krizhevsky notes that the two layer types behave very differently. Convolutional layers do most of the computation but hold… ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
