Abstract:
Hardware accelerators for accelerated grouped convolution operations. A first buffer of a hardware accelerator may receive a first row of an input feature map (IFM) from a memory. A first group comprising a plurality of tiles may receive a first row of the IFM. A plurality of processing elements of the first group may compute a portion of a first row of an output feature map (OFM) based on the first row of the IFM and a kernel. A second buffer of the accelerator may receive a third row of the IFM from the memory. A second group comprising a plurality of tiles may receive the third row of the IFM. A plurality of processing elements of the second group may compute a portion of a third row of the OFM based on the third row of the IFM and the kernel as part of a grouped convolution operation.
