Waifu2x-NCNN Vulkan

Waifu2x-NCNN is an NCNN neural network implementation of the Waifu2x converter project and accelerated using the Vulkan API. NCNN is a high performance neural network inference framework optimized for mobile and other platforms developed by Tencent. This test profile times how long it takes to increase the resolution of a sample image with Vulkan.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark waifu2x-ncnn.
