I used the makefile to build it and… it's prohibitively slow.

The computation is currently done single-threaded on CPU. Since it should be highly parallelizable, I suggest rewriting it to run on GPU. There are various options available. Ranging from OpenCL or CUDA to TensorFlow. Alternatively, we could try making it run on multiple CPU cores.
