It's more the iteration of each pixel and it's neighbor (of which there are 8) making it around 9.6 million iterations.

We will probably head towards redis in the future when precise backups are essential. Undecided what will do this processing though.

We built GPU-accelerated NoSQL datastore. using it, this can be accelerated 100x, given you switch to binary pixel format.
Why would you use a GPU-accelerated storage when latency is the main goal?
GPU do not accelerate raw storage retrieval, but processing, like queries and map reduce.

Use APU / HPU, if PCIe latency is a problem.

I understood that they running something like convolution (I.e, each pixel calculated from surrounding pixels) - this will be fast using OpenCL model).
