由于caffe在一步一步的更新，因此半年前的教程可能不适用于当前版的caffe
因此把这次尝试caffe修改过程记录下来，以饷后人。
首先下载caffe
https://github.com/yjxiong/caffe
这个版本的caffe是multi-gpu支持比较好的，用的是MPI技术，用的显存又少，而且在第一时间段支持了cudnn4，follow起来还是很爽的
关于第一阶段最naive的想法是添加类似conv层功能的Layer，主要参考了
http://blog.csdn.net/kuaitoukid/article/details/41865803
同样的，我们将新的layer明明为wtf layer
修改步骤
1.在 include/caffe/vision_layers.hpp 中添加 wtflayer的定义，由于此处不实现GPU函数，因此注释掉了gpu函数
<span class="hljs-keyword">template</span> <<span class="hljs-keyword">typename</span> Dtype>
<span class="hljs-keyword">class</span> WtfLayer : <span class="hljs-keyword">public</span> BaseConvolutionLayer<Dtype> {

<span class="hljs-comment">//virtual void Backward_gpu(const vector<Blob<Dtype>*>& top,</span>

<span class="hljs-function"><span class="hljs-keyword">virtual</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">void</span> <span class="hljs-title">compute_output_shape</span><span class="hljs-params">()</span></span>;
};
2.将Wtf_layer.cpp添加到src\caffe\layers文件夹中，代码内容复制convolutio_layer.cpp即可，注意在最后复制的时候添加 REGISTER_LAYER_CLASS(Wtf); 注册一下Wtf Layer

} <span class="hljs-comment">// namespace caffe</span>
3. 修改proto/caffe.proto文件，找到LayerType，添加WTF，并更新ID。假如说Wtf_Layer有参数，比如Convolution肯定是有参数的，那么添加WtfParameter类
具体添加一下几行
optional WtfParameter wtf_param = <span class="hljs-number">141</span>;以及
message WtfParameter {
optional uint32 num_output = <span class="hljs-number">1</span>; <span class="hljs-comment">// The number of outputs for the layer</span>

}
optional Engine engine = <span class="hljs-number">15</span> [<span class="hljs-keyword">default</span> = DEFAULT];
}
以及
WTF = 52;以及
optional WtfParameter wtf_param = 53;
接下来编译通过
如何测试我们写的layer的正确性呢？
1.将某些层的type: "Convolution" 转化为type: "Wtf" 测试Wtf的loss情况下降的和Convolution是否一样
2.有了训练好的model和prototxt，用matlab和python接口测试一下是否达到了卷积的效果。
暂时到这里~等待后来继续添加层
