Optimization of GPU Memory Usage for Training Deep Neural Networks

Recently, Deep Neural Networks have been successfully utilized in many domains; especially in computer vision. Many famous convolutional neural networks, such as VGG, ResNet, Inception, and so forth, are used for image classification, object detection, and so forth. The architecture of these state-of-the-art neural networks has become deeper and complicated than ever. In this paper, we propose a method to solve the problem of large memory requirement in the process of training a model. The experimental result shows that the proposed algorithm is able to reduce the GPU memory significantly.
