Optimization of Scatter Network Architectures and Bank Allocations for Sparse CNN Accelerators
Sparse convolutional neural network (SCNN) accelerators eliminate unnecessary computations and memory access by exploiting zero-valued activation pixels and filter weights. However, data movement between the multiplier array and accumulator buffer tends to be a performance bottleneck. Specifically,...
