First alpha releases of HPNN

HPNN got its first public alpha releases.

HPNN stands for High Performance Neural Network.
It is a library that aims to allow a program to train and use artificial neural networks "on-the-fly".
I aim to keep it a simple API, and the library is entirely written in plain C.
For now it support several parallel framework:

• MPI, for multi-nodes calculations over any network;
• OpenMP, for multi-CPUs calculations, within a node;
• CUDA, for calculation within several (NVidia) GPUs.

Some combination are also possible, ie. MPI/OpenMP, for calculation with several CPUs over a network of nodes.

*MPI/CUDA combinations, ie. one or several GPUs on several nodes (but with one CPU), and
OpenMP/CUDA combinations, ie. several CPUs + several GPUs on one node, are also planned.

However, the code is still in _very_ alpha stage, so expect a lot of BUGs.

The library is available here.

happy new 2020

Happy new year 2020!

Ok, I'm a little late on that one ^^'
I have taken some very nice and relaxing vacation in Yakushima, and I'm now 100% filled with energy and... and I'm sick again. In Nagoya the flu is so strong >_<

In this year, I will be busy with a lot of projects, but I have taken several good resolutions:

• I will post more content to this BLOG ;)
• I will not be distracted by the Olympic Games all around here;
• I will finish the tutorials for VASP / USPEX / HPNN / ect
• (also I will post them here)
• I will not be distracted by the Olympic Games all around here;
• I will finish all my articles... and all my projects...
• more seriously I will stop making resolution lists.

I hope that your 2020 will be fantastic!
