Abstract
A computer-implemented method of performing a convolution between an input data array and a kernel to generate an output data array includes decomposing the kernel into a plurality of sub-kernels each having a respective position relative to the kernel and respective in-plane dimensions less than or equal to a target kernel dimension, and for each of the plurality sub-kernels: determining a respective portion of the input data array on the basis of the respective in-plane dimensions of the sub-kernel and the respective position of the sub-kernel relative to the kernel; retrieving the respective portion of the input data array; and performing a convolution between the retrieved respective portion of the input data array and the sub-kernel to generate a respective intermediate data array. The method further includes summing the generated intermediate data arrays to generate at least a portion of the output data array.
