Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to eliminate multiplication operations with zero padding data for convolution computations. A multiplication matrix is generated from an input feature map matrix with padding by adjusting coordinates and dimensions of the input feature map matrix to exclude padding data. The multiplication matrix is used to perform matrix multiplications with respective weight values which results in fewer computations as compared to matrix multiplications which include the zero padding data.
