What's the right batch size in deep learning training?

Using Ganglia you can monitor how busy is the GPU(s). Increasing the batch size would increase that utilization. Bigger batches improve how well each batch updates the model (up to a point) with more accurate gradients. That in turn can allow training to use a higher learning rate, and more quickly reach the point where the model stops improving.
