how to make bender data loader much fast?

[erickingxu]

I had met a problem, using blender for load some model's data from training framework,like pytorch.
I need to convert them from float32 into float16(half) in Metal kernel for processing, but I found it is very slow, so is any way to speed up for this.

I suggest you use benderthon to generate a protobuf and load it from bender. It's an easy and fast way to run a model.
