IMPLEMENTATION OF A NEURAL NETWORK IN MULTICORE HARDWARE

摘要

A multicore hardware implementation of a deep neural network includes a plurality of layers arranged in plurality of layer groups. The input data to the network comprises a multidimensional tensor including one or more traversed dimensions that are traversed by strides in at least one layer of a first layer group, and one or more non-traversed dimensions. If a size of the input data in a first dimension is greater than a threshold, the hardware implementation splits the input data for the first layer group into at least a first tile and a second tile, along the first dimension. If the size of the input data in the first dimension is not greater than the threshold, the hardware implementation splits the evaluation of the first layer group into at least a first pass and a second pass, along a dimension other than the first dimension.
