I'm with @JeffDean on this. DistBelief taught us early important lessons about scaling up deep learning, and it was general enough for many algorithms including supervised backprop. Obviously, we got a lot of software and hardware architecture details "wrong" back in 2012 —

DistBelief Distributed Training System Framework Comparison
By
–
DistBelief is the distributed training system used for that paper & 1000s of other things. Your statement is equivalent to implementing an unsupervised algorithm in PyTorch, seeing modest results (like 70% relative improvement in SoTA on Imagenet 20k) & declaring PyTorch a dead
