The State of the Art when using GPUs in Devising Image Generation Methods Using Deep Learning
This is an incremental analysis addressing computational bottlenecks for researchers using deep learning in high-resolution image generation.
The study compared GPU vs. CPU performance for image generation using VGG and NIN models, finding that processing time increased about threefold when pixel size changed from 128 to 256, with core dumping occurring at 512 pixels or more.
Deep learning is a technique for machine learning using multi-layer neural networks. It has been used for image synthesis and image recognition, but in recent years, it has also been used for various social detection and social labeling. In this analysis, we compared (1) the number of Iterations per minute between the GPU and CPU when using the VGG model and the NIN model, and (2) the number of Iterations per minute by the number of pixels when using the VGG model, using an image with 128 pixels. When the number of pixels was 64 or 128, the processing time was almost the same when using the GPU, but when the number of pixels was changed to 256, the number of iterations per minute decreased and the processing time increased by about three times. In this case study, since the number of pixels becomes core dumping when the number of pixels is 512 or more, we can consider that we should consider improvement in the vector calculation part. If we aim to achieve 8K highly saturated computer graphics using neural networks, we will need to consider an environment that allows computation even when the size of the image becomes even more highly saturated and massive, and parallel computation when performing image recognition and tuning.
