April 2026 monthly summary: Delivered DeformConv operator performance optimizations across CPU and CUDA paths, including zero-copy GEMM output, removal of intermediate buffers and a custom kernel, and major CPU-side refactorings to maximize vectorization and parallelism. Implemented AoSoA bilinear sampling plan, kernel metadata caching, fast math, and hardened bounds checks; introduced batch chunking and template specialization for 1x1, 3x3, and 7x7 kernels with dynamic handling for 5x5. Reduced memory footprint and improved throughput, enabling larger batch processing and more scalable inference. Improved aliasing guarantees and clearer constraints in code. Result: CPU performance ~33x faster than main branch (TorchVision baseline), with potential ~36x with AVX512; significantly higher model throughput and lower latency. Open questions maintained on CUDA temporary memory threshold for balancing VRAM vs parallelism.
