METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING MEMORY REQUIREMENT IN A NETWORK

The present disclosure disclose method and apparatus for determining memory requirement for processing a DNN model on a device, a method includes receiving a DNN model for an input, wherein the DNN model includes a plurality of processing layers. The method includes generating a network graph of the DNN model. The method includes creating a colored network graph of the DNN model based on the identified execution order of the plurality of processing layers. The colored network graph indicates assignment of at least one memory buffer for storing at least one output of at least one processing layer. The method includes determining at least one buffer reuse overlap possibility across the plurality of processing layers. Based on the determined at least one buffer reuse overlap possibility, the method includes determining and assigning the memory required for processing the DNN model.
