When training ImageNet model on CPU,
ConvolutionLayer<Dtype>::Forward_cpu
andConvolutionLayer<Dtype>::Backward_cpu
occupy about 80% time, andim2col_cpu
+col2im_cpu
occupy 30%~50% time of ConvolutionLayer, thus, we modify im2col.cpp into a multi-thread version.We test out modified version on our 4-physical-core machine, if we create 4 pthreads, we can decrease 50% time of
im2col_cpu
+col2im_cpu
. And you can define your THREAD_NUM based on the physical core number of your machine.
