Abstract
Systems and methods for pipelined neural network processing with continuous and asynchronous updates are described. A method for processing a neural network comprising L layers, where L is an integer greater than two, includes partitioning the L layers among a set of computing resources configured to process forward passes and backward passes associated with each of the L layers. The method further includes initiating processing of the forward passes and the backward passes using the set of computing resources. The method further includes upon completion of a first set of forward passes and a first set of backward passes associated with a first layer of the L layers, initiating update of parameters associated with the first layer when gradients are available for updating the parameters associated with the first layer without waiting to calculate gradients associated with any of remaining L layers.
