Abstract
A method comprises receiving one or more sizes for each of the dimensions of a kernel that is convolved with an input tensor to generate an output activation, generating a control pattern used to compute output values for the convolution of the input tensor, with the control pattern being a square matrix with each dimension being a size equal to the product of the width and the height of the kernel. The control pattern is generated by generating a value for each position of the control pattern that is based on a location of the position in the control pattern and the one or more sizes of each of the dimensions of the kernel, the value indicating a location from which to access values from a flattened input tensor for the convolution with the kernel.
