Conv-XP CONV-XP PRUNING APPARATUS OF CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK SUITABLE FOR AN ACCELERATION CIRCUIT

摘要

A Conv-XP pruning device for a convolutional neural network suitable for an acceleration circuit is disclosed. An arithmetic circuit of a convolutional neural network, comprising: a mux (100) for selecting an X array or a + array from input data (10); a multiplier 200 that multiplies the output of the mux 100 and the weight of the neural network; and an adder 300 that adds the output of the multiplier 200 . Therefore, it is possible to make a high-speed circuit by reducing the number of multipliers 200 , and there is an advantage in that the area of the acceleration circuit in the operation circuit is reduced.
