104+ ### Library settings
105+
106+ ** NeuralNetwork .NET ** provides various shared settings that are available through the `NetworkSettings ` class .
107+ This class acts as a container to quickly check and modify any setting at any time , and these settings will influence the behavior of any existing `INeuralNetwork ` instance and the library in general .
108+
109+ For example , it is possible to customize the criteria used by the networks to check their performance during training
110+
111+ ```C #
112+ NetworkSettings .AccuracyTester = AccuracyTesters .Argmax (); // The default mode
113+ NetworkSettings .AccuracyTester = AccuracyTesters .Threshold (); // Useful for overlapping classes
114+ ```
115+
116+ When using CUDA - powered networks , sometimes the GPU in use might not be able to process the whole test or validation datasets in a single pass , which is the default behavior (these datasets are not divided into batches ).
117+ To avoid memory issues , it is possible to modify this behavior :
118+
119+ ```C #
120+ NetworkSettings .MaximumBatchSize = 400 ; // This will apply to any test or validation dataset
121+ ```
