Abstract

A hardware acceleration module may generate a channel-wise argmax map using a predefined set of hardware-implemented operations. In some examples, a hardware acceleration module may receive a set of feature maps for different image channels. The hardware acceleration module may execute a sequence of hardware operations, including a portion(s) of hardware for executing a convolution, rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation, and/or layer concatenation, to determine a maximum channel feature value and/or argument maxima (argmax) value for a set of associated locations within the feature maps. An argmax map may be generated based at least in part on the argument maximum for a set of associated locations.
