Memory and ILP handling in 2D convolutions

A convolution operation in 2D processes images by applying a filter to extract features. The process involves sampling and quantizing continuous signals into discrete values represented as tensors. The filter is applied to the image using a function of sums limited by the filter size. The output tensor represents the result of the convolution operation. Cross-correlation, a similar operation to convolution, is used when the shifted signal is symmetric. The implementation involves optimizing memory access and utilizing SIMD vector instructions for efficient computation. The code runs on specific hardware and processes a batch of images from the MNIST dataset. The filter is initialized with specific distributions for effective feature extraction. The algorithm optimizes memory access and computation by vectorizing operations and utilizing stack variables for efficient processing.
