Abstract
A neural network implementation is disclosed. The implementation allows the computations for the neural network to be performed on either an accelerator or a processor. The accelerator and the processor share a memory and communicate over a bus to perform the computations and to share data. The implementation uses weight compression and pruning, as well as parallel processing, to reduce computing, storage, and power requirements.
