Easy Installation of Theano optimized on CentOS 6

Easy Installation of an optimized Theano on CentOS 6
====================================================
.. note::
It is possible to have a faster installation of Theano. But this
make the installation more complicated or request that you buy
software. So this is a simple installation instruction that give a
relatively well optimized version that use only free
software. With more work or with money, you can have a faster
installation.
The differences between those faster version are related to blas
libraries.
It is possible to have a faster installation of Theano than the one these
instructions will provide, but this will make the installation more
complicated and/or may require that you buy software. This is a simple set
of installation instructions that will leave you with a relatively
well-optimized version that uses only free software. With more work or by
investing money (i.e. buying a license to a proprietary BLAS
implementation), it is possible to gain further performance.
.. note::
This procedure make Theano use only 1 thread for all blas
function. See note 1 about faster version. The other blas
libraries can work in parallel.
These instructions will result in Theano using only 1 thread for all BLAS
function calls. See the note above; other BLAS implementations can employ
multithreading to speed up computation.
.. note::
If you are under a proxy, you must do some extra configuration step
bedofore staring the installation. You must set the environment
variable ``http_proxy`` to the proxy like this under bash:
If you are behind a proxy, you must do some extra configuration steps
before starting the installation. You must set the environment
variable ``http_proxy`` to the proxy address. Using bash this is
accomplished with the command
``export http_proxy="http://user:pass@my.site:port/"``
You can also give the ``--proxy=[user:pass@]url:port`` parameter
to pip. [user:pass@] is optional.

We use ``pip`` for 2 reasons. First, it allows "``import module;
module.test()``" to work correctly. Second, the installation of NumPy
1.6 or 1.6.1 with ``easy_install`` raises an ImportError at the end of
the installation. To my knowledge we can ignore this error, but
this is not completly safe. easy_install with numpy 1.5.1 don't
have this error.
this is not completely safe. ``easy_install`` with NumPy 1.5.1 does not
raise this error.
Installation step

Installation steps
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) sudo yum install python-devel python-nose python-setuptools gcc

2) sudo easy_install pip
3) sudo pip install numpy==1.6.1
4) sudo pip install scipy==0.10.1
5) sudo pip install Theano

Tests newly installed package
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Test the newly installed packages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Numpy (~30s): python -c "import numpy;numpy.test()"
2) Scipy (~1m): python -c "import scipy;scipy.test()"
3) Theano (~30m): python -c "import theano;theano.test()"
1) NumPy (~30s): ``python -c "import numpy; numpy.test()"``
2) SciPy (~1m): ``python -c "import scipy; scipy.test()"``
3) Theano (~30m): ``python -c "import theano; theano.test()"``
Speed test Theano/Blas
Speed test Theano/BLAS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is recommended to test the Theano/Blas integration. There is many
version of Blas that exist and there can be up to 10x speed
difference. Also, having Theano link directly to blas instead of
using numpy/scipy as an intermediate lower the overhead. This is
important for blas call to ger, gemv and small gemm (automaticaled
when needed when you use dot()). To run Theano/Blas speed test:
It is recommended to test your Theano/BLAS integration. There are many versions
of BLAS that exist and there can be up to 10x speed difference between them.
Also, having Theano link directly against BLAS instead of using NumPy/SciPy as
an intermediate layer reduces the computational overhead. This is
important for BLAS calls to ``ger``, ``gemv`` and small ``gemm`` operations
(automatically called when needed when you use ``dot()``). To run the
Theano/BLAS speed test:
.. code-block:: bash
python /usr/lib/python2.*/site-packages/theano/misc/check_blas.py
This will print a table with with different version of blas/number of
thread on multiple CPUs and GPUs. It will also print some Theano/numpy
configuration. Thenit will print the run time for your
installation. Try to find a CPU close to yours and check if the
timming is not too far.
This will print a table with different versions of BLAS/numbers of
threads on multiple CPUs and GPUs. It will also print some Theano/NumPy
configuration information. Then, it will print the running time of the same
benchmarks for your installation. Try to find a CPU similar to yours in
the table, and check that the single-threaded timings are roughly the same.
Updating Theano
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you followed this instruction installation, you can execute this to
update only Theano:
If you followed these installation instructions, you can execute this command
to update only Theano:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo pip install --upgrade --no-deps theano
If you want to also update numpy/scipy, you can run this:
If you want to also update NumPy/SciPy, you can run this:
.. code-block:: bash
