Leapfrogging for parallelism in deep neural networks

Abstract

We present a technique, which we term leapfrogging, to parallelize back- propagation in deep neural networks. We show that this technique yields a savings of 1-1/k of a dominant term in backpropagation, where k is the number of threads (or gpus).
