Abstract
A system and method of executing a convolution layer of a neural network may include: (a) selecting an output spatial position (OSP) of an output matrix data element of the convolution layer; (b) selecting, based on the selected OSP, a non-zero input element of an input matrix data element; (c) producing, based on the selected OSP, a vector of kernel elements from a kernel matrix data element; (d) performing a vectoral multiplication operation of the selected non-zero input element and the vector of kernel elements, and accumulating a product of the vectoral multiplication in a vector register of a processor; (e) repeating (c) and (d) with subsequent non-zero input elements and corresponding vectors of kernel elements to obtain an outcome of the convolution of the selected OSP; and (f) repeating (a) through (e) with subsequent selection of OSPs, to obtain an outcome of the convolution layer.
