Abstract

The study focuses on the classification of breast cancer images using deep learning techniques, particularly emphasizing the role of multi-GPU setups to handle the demanding computational needs of this task. Breast cancer, notorious for its high misdiagnosis rate, poses a significant challenge in medical diagnostics, where Computer-aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems can play a pivotal role. This study experiments with various convolutional neural network models including ResNet and MobileNet. These models are tested on a dataset divided into three categories—normal, benign, and malignant images—sourced from ultrasound scans. The dataset used comprises a substantial number of images, which are then processed and augmented to fit the model requirements. The study evaluates the models' performance based on accuracy and efficiency metrics, revealing that while multiple Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) theoretically increase computational speed, they do not always correspond to better model performance due to potential issues in data synchronization and parallel processing inefficiencies.
