Abstract
A memory-adaptive processing method for a convolutional neural network includes a feature map counting step, a size relation counting step and a convolution calculating step. The feature map counting step is for counting a number of a plurality of input channels of a plurality of input feature maps, an input feature map tile size, a number of a plurality of output channels of a plurality of output feature maps and an output feature map tile size for a convolutional layer operation. The size relation counting step is for obtaining a cache free space size in a feature map cache and counting a size relation. The convolution calculating step is for performing the convolutional layer operation with the input feature maps to produce the output feature maps according to a memory-adaptive processing technique, and the memory-adaptive processing technique includes a dividing step and an output-group-first processing step.
