Abstract: A single instruction multiple data (SIMD) processor is used to implement a dropout layer between a first layer and a second layer of a neural network. The SIMD processor can implement the dropout layer by setting one or more elements in an output tensor of the first layer to zero before providing it as an input tensor to the second layer. Setting of the one or more elements to zero is based on a dropout rate, and pseudo-random numbers generated by a random number generator in the SIMD processor.
