Abstract
A method for performing a convolution operation includes storing, a convolution kernel in a first storage device, the convolution kernel having dimensions x by y; storing, in a second storage device, a first subset of element values of an input feature map having dimensions n by m; performing a first simultaneous multiplication, of each value of the first subset of element values of the input feature map with a first element value from among the x*y elements of the convolution kernel; for each remaining value of the x*y elements of the convolution kernel, performing, a simultaneous multiplication of the remaining value with a corresponding subset of element values of the input feature map; for each simultaneous multiplication, storing, result of the simultaneous multiplication in an accumulator; and outputting, the values of the accumulator as a first row of an output feature map.
