shakeout-for-caffe

This Shakeout implementation is based on caffe.

First, you should download the caffe source code.

Then put the files shakeout_layer.cpp; shakeout_layer.cu under the directory src/caffe/layers/; put the file caffe.proto under the directory src/caffe/proto/; put the file shakeout_layer.hpp under the directory include/caffe/layers/.

Finally, you can refer to AlexNet_shakeout_example.prototxt to see how to use.
