For graduate students out there that would rather be doing research than "graduate student gradient descent" (or, high dimensional, non-convex optimization in your head), SigOpt (YC W15) is a SaaS Optimization platform that is completely free for academic research [0]. Hundreds of researchers around the world use it for their projects.

Disclaimer: I co-founded SigOpt and wasted way too much of my PhD on "graduate student gradient descent"
