Speed-up learning process

[nick-harder]

Problem Description

Despite recent improvements that have significantly sped up the learning process, it remains slower than expected. Additionally, running the process on a GPU does not result in any noticeable speed improvement compared to running on a CPU. This issue needs to be investigated and resolved to ensure optimal performance on both CPU and GPU.

Task Description

1. Profile Performance:

   • Use profiling tools to measure and compare the performance on both CPU and GPU.
   • Identify specific areas where the GPU implementation is underperforming.

2. Optimize GPU Utilization:

   • Investigate and implement techniques to better leverage GPU capabilities.
   • Ensure that data transfer between CPU and GPU is minimized and efficiently managed.

3. Test and Validate Improvements:

   • Run a series of benchmarks to validate that the optimizations result in significant speed improvements on both CPU and GPU.
   • Ensure that the learning accuracy and outcomes are not negatively impacted by the changes.
