Flux is agnostic to array types, so we simply need to move model weights and data to the GPU and Flux will handle it.</p><p>For example, we can use <code>CuArrays</code> (with the <code>cu</code> converter) to run our <a href="models/basics.html">basic example</a> on an NVIDIA GPU.</p><p>(Note that you need to build Julia 0.6 from source and have CUDA available to use CuArrays please see the <a href="https://github.com/JuliaGPU/CUDAnative.jl">CUDAnative.jl</a> instructions for more details.)</p><pre><code class="language-julia">using CuArrays
W = cu(rand(2, 5)) # a 2×5 CuArray
b = cu(rand(2))
predict(x) = W*x .+ b
loss(x, y) = sum((predict(x) .- y).^2)
x, y = cu(rand(5)), cu(rand(2)) # Dummy data
loss(x, y) # ~ 3</code></pre><p>Note that we convert both the parameters (<code>W</code>, <code>b</code>) and the data set (<code>x</code>, <code>y</code>) to cuda arrays. Taking derivatives and training works exactly as before.</p><p>If you define a structured model, like a <code>Dense</code> layer or <code>Chain</code>, you just need to convert the internal parameters. Flux provides <code>mapleaves</code>, which allows you to alter all parameters of a model at once.</p><pre><code class="language-julia">d = Dense(10, 5, σ)
d = mapleaves(cu, d)
d.W # Tracked CuArray
d(cu(rand(10))) # CuArray output
m = Chain(Dense(10, 5, σ), Dense(5, 2), softmax)
m = mapleaves(cu, m)
d(cu(rand(10)))</code></pre><p>As a convenience, Flux provides the <code>gpu</code> function to convert models and data to the GPU if one is available. By default, it&#39;ll do nothing, but loading <code>CuArrays</code> will cause it to move data to the GPU instead.</p><pre><code class="language-julia">julia&gt; using Flux, CuArrays
