Microsoft rxNeuralNet acceleration

Question

In Microsoft's R NeuralNet package, there is an option for acceleration, where you can specify "GPU" or "SSE". I know what GPU is, does anyone know what SSE acceleration is?

Thanks!

Answer 1

SSE stands for "Streaming SIMD Extensions". SIMD stands for "Single Instruction Multiple Data".
