> While we are slightly faster than JPEG (libjpeg) and significantly faster than JPEG 2000, WebP and BPG, our codec runs on a GPU and traditional codecs do not — so we do not show this comparison. This is great news! I'd actually like to see the plot, though. (Both for encoding and decoding.) It stands to reason that a neural network can optimize image compression, as it can encode high-level information like "this is a face". But encoding / decoding speed is the sticking point, so I feel successes there should be emphasized. The necessity of having a GPU doesn't seem problematic nowadays; everything has one. Testing it with a mobile-grade GPU would be interesting.
