Thanks Nick :)
Abid, you may also want to check out http://conferences.oreilly.com/strata/big-data-conference-ny-2015/public/schedule/detail/43484, which describes our work on a combination of Spark and Tachyon for Deep Learning. We found significant gains in using Tachyon (with co-processing) for the "descent" step while Spark computes the gradients. The video was recently uploaded here http://bit.ly/1JnvQAO.
