Abstract
Systems and methods for a multi-core optimized Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architecture are disclosed. The various architectures affect communication and synchronization operations according to the Multi-Bulk-Synchronous-Parallel (MBSP) model for a given processor. The resulting family of network architectures, referred to as MBSP-RNNs, perform similarly to a conventional RNNs having the same number of parameters, but are substantially more efficient when mapped onto a modern general purpose processor. Due to the large gain in computational efficiency, for a fixed computational budget, MBSP-RNNs outperform RNNs at applications such as end-to-end speech recognition.
