CONSTRAINED CLUSTERING ALGORITHM FOR EFFICIENT HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION OF A DEEP NEURAL NETWORK ENGINE

A method and a system for operating a deep neural network. In the method and system, a subset of floating-point values are used to represent weights in the DNN; the floating-point values are quantized onto a flexible-power-of-two (FPoT) alphabet; values in the FPoT alphabet are listed in a plurality...

Zusammenfassung:A method and a system for operating a deep neural network. In the method and system, a subset of floating-point values are used to represent weights in the DNN; the floating-point values are quantized onto a flexible-power-of-two (FPoT) alphabet; values in the FPoT alphabet are listed in a plurality of regions; and an empty region among the plurality of regions is merged to neighbour regions to output dusters of the weights in merged regions, the merged regions having respective centroids and boundary lines in between.
