From 80x to 385x: A Best-Matching-Unit Search at the L2 Roof, Measured Against a Symmetrically Tuned Baseline
Comparisons between GPU implementations are usually asymmetric: one side is tuned by its author, the other is run as found. I report a programme that tuned both a novel SOM algorithm (SparseBin) and the baseline algorithm it was being compared to (cuSPARSE). The best-matching-unit search that dominates self-organizing...
