### Multiprocessing training example for ffnet ###

from ffnet import ffnet, mlgraph

# Generate random training data (large)
input = rand(10000, 10)

# Define net (large one)
conec = mlgraph((10,300,1))
net = ffnet(conec)

# Test training speed-up
# Note that the below *if* is necessary only on Windows
