<p>This way must use model path saved by Paddle like this: <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">model/pass-%5d</span></code>. Testing model is from M-th pass to (N-1)-th pass. For example: M=12 and N=14 will test <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">model/pass-00012</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">model/pass-00013</span></code>.</p>

<span id="sparse-training"></span><h2>Sparse Training<a class="headerlink" href="#sparse-training" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Sparse training is usually used to accelerate calculation when input is sparse data with highly dimension. For example, dictionary dimension of input data is 1 million, but one sample just have several words. In paddle, sparse matrix multiplication is used in forward propagation and sparse updating is perfomed on weight updating after backward propagation.</p>
<div class="section" id="local-training">
<span id="id1"></span><h3>1) Local training<a class="headerlink" href="#local-training" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>You need to set <strong>sparse_update=True</strong> in network config.  Check the network config documentation for more details.</p>

<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">parallel_nn</span></code> can be set to mixed use of GPUs and CPUs to compute layers. That is to say, you can deploy network to use a GPU to compute some layers and use a CPU to compute other layers. The other way is to split layers into different GPUs, which can <strong>reduce GPU memory</strong> or <strong>use parallel computation to accelerate some layers</strong>.</p>
