    Abstract: Described embodiments include a system that includes one or more buffers and circuitry. The circuitry is configured to process a plurality of input values, by identifying each of the input values that is not zero-valued, and, for each value of the identified input values, computing respective products of coefficients of a kernel with the value and storing at least some of the respective products in the buffers. The circuitry is further configured to compute a plurality of output values, by retrieving respective sets of stored values from the buffers, at least some of the retrieved sets including one or more of the products, and summing the retrieved sets. The circuitry is further configured to output the computed output values. Other embodiments are also described.
