The advent of Deep Learning models like VGG-16 and Resnet-50 has considerably revolutionized the field of image classification, and by using these Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) architectures, one can get a high classification accuracy on a wide variety of image datasets. However, these Deep Learning models have a very high computational complexity and so incur a high computational cost of running these algorithms as well as make it hard to interpret the results. In this paper, we present a shallow CNN architecture which gives the same classification accuracy as the VGG-16 and Resnet-50 models for thin blood smear RBC slide images for detection of malaria, while decreasing the computational run time by an order of magnitude. This can offer a significant advantage for commercial deployment of these algorithms, especially in poorer countries in Africa and some parts of the Indian subcontinent, where the menace of malaria is quite severe. 8 pages, 4 figures, 1 table
