Abstract:
Embodiments of an electronic device include an integrated circuit, a reconfigurable stream switch formed in the integrated circuit along with a plurality of convolution accelerators and a decompression unit coupled to the reconfigurable stream switch. The decompression unit decompresses encoded kernel data in real time during operation of convolutional neural network.
