Abstract
A neural network system includes an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer. A first layer circuit implements a first layer of the one or more hidden layers. The first layer includes a first weight space including one or more subgroups. A forward path circuit of the first layer circuit includes a multiply and accumulate circuit to receive an input from a layer preceding the first layer; and provide a first subgroup weighted sum using the input and a first plurality weights associated with a first subgroup. A scaling coefficient circuit provides a first scaling coefficient associated with the first subgroup, and applies the first scaling coefficient to the first subgroup weighted sum to generate a first subgroup scaled weighted sum. An activation circuit generates an activation based on the first subgroup scaled weighted sum and provide the activation to a layer following the first layer.
