混合精确卷积神经网络表示方法
Method for Hybrid Precision Convolutional Neural Network Representation
摘要:
本发明涉及集成电路中卷积神经网络(CNN)的定点表示。当针对实际实现量化CNN时,在用于系数和数据之间的运算的精度与系统的精度之间存在折衷。同构表示可能不足以以实现复杂性或功耗方面的合理成本来实现最佳性能水平。需要表示数据和系数的简约方式来提高功率效率和吞吐量,同时保持CNN的准确性。
英文摘要:
This invention addresses fixed-point representations of convolutional neural networks (CNN) in integrated circuits. When quantizing a CNN for a practical implementation there is a trade-off between the precision used for operations between coefficients and data and the accuracy of the system. A homogenous representation may not be sufficient to achieve the best level of performance at a reasonable cost in implementation complexity or power consumption. Parsimonious ways of representing data and coefficients are needed to improve power efficiency and throughput while maintaining accuracy of a CNN.
