If you found the title interesting (hence you are reading this) you most likely know what a convolution is. It’s a crucial computation piece that you want to ensure is efficiently implemented. For this reason, there are plenty of libraries, implementations, and even hardware extensions designed to enhance convolution speed. But have you ever considered just how much faster it can be? How slow is the naïve implementation? And how much can compiler optimization aid? Here, I attempt to showcase speed comparisons on the de facto standard computer of a hardware enthusiast: the Raspberry Pi. In this post, I test...
