In
make_convolutional_layer
function,l.output
is initialized to 0 byxcalloc
. Then it is copied tol.output_gpu
, and conditionally copied tol.x_gpu
andl.x_norm_gpu
.We can use
cuda_memset
to set these three arrays in gpu side rather than doing copy all zeros from cpu side. This optimization will save a lot of memory traffic. In my simple test for dog.jpg, it saves about 20% memory copy traffic.
