Abstract
Mechanisms are provided for acceleration of convolutional neural networks on analog arrays. Input ports receive image signals from frames in an input image. Input memory arrays store the image signals received from the input ports into a respective input memory location to create a plurality of image sub-regions in input memory arrays. A distributor associated each of a set of analog array tiles in an analog array to a part of image sub-regions of the input memory arrays, so that one or more of a set of analog memory components is associated with the image signals in a distribution order to create a respective output signal. An assembler stores each of the respective output signals into one of a set of memory outputs in an output order that is determined by the distribution order.
