arXiv:2607.02097v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large kernel depthwise convolutions achieve strong performance but suffer from significant degradation as kernel size grows due to irregular memory access from gather-based computation; while Large Kernel Acceleration (LKA) helps on small feature maps, it becomes counterproductive on large feature maps, even slower than non-accelerated implementations. We propose Windowed Batch Matrix Multiplication (WBMM), which partitions input into contiguous windows and indexes a compact relative position bias table to construct weight matrices, enabling re
This research provides a novel computation method that directly addresses efficiency bottlenecks in large kernel convolutions, a critical component in current high-performance AI models.
Improved efficiency in foundational AI operations will accelerate AI development and potentially lower the computational cost of deploying advanced models, impacting various AI-driven industries.
The computational bottleneck associated with large kernel convolutions is significantly reduced, paving the way for more practical and performant large receptive field models.
