A SYSTEM FOR MAPPING A NEURAL NETWORK ARCHITECTURE ONTO A COMPUTING CORE AND A METHOD OF MAPPING A NEURAL NETWORK ARCHITECTURE ONTO A COMPUTING CORE

摘要

A system for mapping a neural network architecture onto a computing core and a method of mapping a neural network architecture onto a computing core may be provided, the system comprises a neural network module configured to provide a neural network; a data input module coupled to the neural network module, the neural network module configured to provide input data to the neural network; a layer selector module coupled to the neural network module, the layer selector module configured to select a layer of the neural network; a pipeline module coupled to the layer selection module, the pipeline module configured to perform at least one backward pipelining analysis from the selected layer of the layer selector module, the pipeline module being arranged to perform the at least one backward pipelining analysis towards an input layer of the neural network; a mapper module coupled to the pipeline module, the mapper module being arranged to receive activation information from the pipeline module, the activation information based on the at least one backward pipelining analysis; and wherein the mapper module is further arranged to map at least the selected layer of the neural network using the activation information to a computing core.
