Computational species "bw filter simplified less" (CID=45741e3fbcf4024b:1db78910464c9d05)

Notes

This computation species (kernel) is a threshold filter (CID=45741e3fbcf4024b:1db78910464c9d05) - it is used in image processing and neuron activation functions (part of artificial neural networks).

Some cost-aware experiments (execution time, size, energy, compilation time) performed by Grigori Fursin using Collective Mind framework and artifacts from the public repository to be reproducible. It supports our collaborative research on continuous performance tracking, code optimization and compiler benchmarking (regression detection). If you find any mistakes or would like to extend this page, please help us!
