Another Question about speed test and GPU-memory test

[hrtan]

Hi, Marvin:

I notice that in your paper, you post the speed of ConvCRF with different receptive field size from 3 to 13. Here is my question, why there's no more larger conv-size than size-13 ? And is the speed posted in table.1 indicate that the time cost for just one iteration?

Hi Alex,

the performance does not improve past 13. Also, if you go bigger then 21 (I think it was 21) I ran into GPU memory issues (@ 11GB). The memory consumption also increases quadratically with filter size. So there is no reason why you want to go past 11.

The speed given in the table indicates the cost of all the entire inference with 5 iterations.
