# Caffeinated Convolution |
|
|
|
|
|
The Caffe strategy for convolution is to reduce the problem to matrix-matrix multiplication. |
|
|
This linear algebra computation is highly-tuned in BLAS libraries and efficiently computed on GPU devices. |

As it turns out, this same reduction was independently explored in the context of conv. nets by |
