Abstract
A method for implementing a convolutional neural network (CNN) accelerator on a target includes utilizing one or more processing elements to perform convolution. A configuration of the CNN accelerator is modified to change filters implemented by the CNN accelerator and to change formatting of output data. The one or more processing elements are utilized to perform one of deconvolution and backpropagation convolution in response to the change in the filters and formatting of the output data.
