     - Prepare hardware environment with Ascend processor. If you want to try Ascend, please send the [application form](https://obs-9be7.obs.cn-east-2.myhuaweicloud.com/file/other/Ascend%20Model%20Zoo%E4%BD%93%E9%AA%8C%E8%B5%84%E6%BA%90%E7%94%B3%E8%AF%B7%E8%A1%A8.docx) to ascend@huawei.com. Once approved, you can get the resources. Squeezenet training on GPU performs badly now, and it is still in research. See [squeezenet in research](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/tree/master/model_zoo/research/cv/squeezenet) to get up-to-date details.
