Algorithms

Rabin-Karp Pattern Searching Algorithm

Rabin-Karp Algorithm is an efficient string pattern searching algorithm that utilizes the technique of hashing to search for patterns in a string in linear time by using a clever way of calculating hashes. This algorithm has been developed by Richard M. Karp and Michael O. Rabin in 1987.

Machine Learning (ML)

Difference between MKL, MKL ML and MKL DNN

In this article, we give the relation between MKL, MKL ML and MKL DNN. MKL is a closed sourced BLAS library while MKL ML is an open-source BLAS library which is actually a subset of MKL. MKL DNN is an open source library used to optimize Deep Neural Network operations and depends on a BLAS library.
