-/** Function to run the deconvolution layer.
+/** Basic function to compute the deconvolution layer. This function calls the following OpenCL kernels/functions:
  *
- * Deconvolution Layer is the backward pass of Convolution Layer. First we transform the input depending on the stride and pad info and then perform a 1x1
- * convolution pass. Input stride defines how many zeroes we should put between each element of the input, pad is the amount of padding and finally a is a user
- * specified value where a < stride - 1, that increases the padding top and right of the input image.
- *
- *  The relation between input to output is as follows:
- *  \f[
- *       width\_output = (width\_input - 1) \cdot stride\_x - 2 \cdot padding\_x + kernel\_x
- *  \f]
- *  \f[
- *       height\_output = (height\_input - 1) \cdot stride\_y - 2 \cdot padding\_y + kernel\_y
- *  \f]
- *
- *  where:
- *      width_input is the size of the first input dimension.
- *      height_input is the size of the second input dimension.
- *      width_output is the size of the first output dimension.
- *      height_output is the size of the second output dimension.
- *      kernel_x and kernel_y are the convolution sizes in x and y.
- *      stride_x and stride_y is the input stride of the first and second dimension.
- *
- * The weights used by Deconvolution are supposed to be the same as the ones used for Convolution. Therefore, it will be necessary to use the weights in the
- * reverse order to perform an actual convolution. This is achieved by using the @ref CPPFlipWeightsKernel.
- *
