Dumb question: Does this:

"TensorFlow.js automatically supports WebGL, and will accelerate your code behind the scenes when a GPU is available."

imply that you can get all the benefits of GPU-accelerated machine learning on any old GPU---not just CUDA-compatible Nvidia GPUs?

For example, if you've got one of those 15 inch Macbook pros with a GPU, can you use TensorFlow.js to train a model at comparable (even if not identical) speed to a custom deep learning box?



Yes, it will work on almost any GPU (even mobile!). No, it will not be anywhere near the speed of CUDA.


But I guess it will be as fast or faster than native CPU code.


cool, thank you!
