If you ever wonder about the performance differences between CPU, GPU, and TPU for your machine learning project, this article shows a simple benchmark for these three. Memory Subsystem Architecture Central Processing Unit (CPU), Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) are processors with a specialized purpose and architecture. CPU: A processor designed to solve every...
A really Cool data visualization: 3d globe in 2d space
While generating data in 3d space for manifold learning, I went across a problem of distributing points evenly on a sphere. It is a non-trivial problem but found a good enough solution for such placement. Interestingly, it ends up with a really cool animation effect when I decided to implement it on a mobile app. Figure 1: First animation effect: Rotation The algorithm There are two qualitatively...
TF2.0 Warm-up exercises (forked from @chipHuyen Repo)
Heard of Ms @huyen chip for her notable yet controversial travelling books back in the day. I enjoy reading but I am not really into travel memoirs. Nevertheless, she did surprise everyone by her achievements by getting in Stanford, teaching TensorFlow, and then became a computer/data scientist. Her story is definitely very inspiring. For ones who don’t know about Ms Huyen, I added an...
Data Visualization – Charts with Matplotlib
A common use for notebooks is data visualization using charts. It is easy with several charting tools available as Python imports. This article covers some common charts using matplotlib.
Matplotlib
Matplotlib is the most common charting package, see its documentation for details, and its examples for inspiration.

Game Frame rate and character animations (part 2)
In part 1, we covered the principle of game frame rate and a useful game programming pattern for performance. This part shows the detailed implementation of a game scene with hundreds of moving characters using Android Studio and Kotlin. Image asset This game uses a free image from wild-refuge.net. Xmas girl 3 (URL) You can download any similar image (4 x 4 frames) and place it in the...
