tf.nn.depthwise_conv2d太慢了。正常吗？

Question

我正在尝试arxiv最近的一项工作，名为“Factorized CNN”

主要讨论了空间分离卷积（深度卷积）和信道线性投影（1x1conv）相结合的卷积运算速度。在

this is the figure for their conv layer architecture

我发现我可以用tf.nn.depthwise_conv2d和1x1卷积，或可分离变压器一

以下是我的实现：

#conv filter for depthwise convolution depthwise_filter = tf.get_variable("depth_conv_w", [3,3,64,1], initializer=tf.random_normal_initializer(stddev=np.sqrt(2.0/9/32))) #conv filter for linear channel projection pointwise_filter = tf.get_variable("point_conv_w", [1,1,64,64], initializer=tf.random_normal_initializer(stddev=np.sqrt(2.0/1/64))) conv_b = tf.get_variable("conv_b", [64], initializer=tf.constant_initializer(0)) #depthwise convolution, with multiplier 1 conv_tensor = tf.nn.relu(tf.nn.depthwise_conv2d(tensor, depthwise_filter, [1,1,1,1], padding='SAME')) #linear channel projection with 1x1 convolution conv_tensor = tf.nn.bias_add(tf.nn.conv2d(conv_tensor, pointwise_filter, [1,1,1,1], padding='VALID'), conv_b) #residual tensor = tf.add(tensor, conv_tensor)

Answer 1

Depthwise convolutions provide significant performance benefits owing to the reduction in both parameters and mult-adds. However, training depthwise convolution layers with GPUs is slow in current deep learning frameworks because their implementations cannot fully utilize the GPU capacity.
