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

Notes

Some cost-aware experiments (execution time, size, energy, compilation time) performed by Grigori Fursin. It supports our research on continuous performance tracking, code optimization and compiler benchmarking (regression detection).

This computation species (kernel) is a threshold filter - it is used in image processing and neuron activation functions (part of artificial neural networks).
