code on GPU also read `GPU`_.

To run this example on a GPU, you need a good GPU. First, it need
at least 1G of GPU RAM and possibly more if your monitor is
connected to the GPU.

Second, when the GPU is connected to the monitor, there is a limit
of a few seconds for each GPU function call. This is needed as
current GPU can't be used for the monitor while doing
computation. If there wasn't this limit, the screen would freeze
for too long and this look as if the computer froze. User don't
like this. This example hit this limit with medium GPU. When the
GPU isn't connected to a monitor, there is no time limit. You can
lower the batch size to fix the time out problem.
