Abstract
Techniques and systems are provided for implementing a convolutional neural network. One or more convolution accelerators are provided that each include a feature line buffer memory, a kernel buffer memory, and a plurality of multiply-accumulate (MAC) circuits arranged to multiply and accumulate data. In a first operational mode the convolutional accelerator stores feature data in the feature line buffer memory and stores kernel data in the kernel data buffer memory. In a second mode of operation, the convolutional accelerator stores kernel decompression tables in the feature line buffer memory.
