Abstract
A computation method used in a convolutional neural network is provided. The method includes: receiving original data; determining a first optimal quantization step size according to a distribution of the original data; performing fixed-point processing to the original data according to the first optimal quantization step size to generate first data; inputting the first data to a first layer of the convolutional neural network to generate first output data; determining a second optimal quantization step size according to a distribution of the first output data; performing the fixed-point processing to the first output data according to the second optimal quantization step size to generate second data; and inputting the second data to a second layer of the convolutional neural network.
