Abstract

A convolutional neural network (CNN) accelerator, including: a CNN circuit for performing a multiple-layer CNN computation, wherein the multiple layers are to receive an input feature according to an input feature map (IFM) and a weight matrix per output feature, wherein an output of a first layer provides an input for a next layer; and a mapping circuit to access a three-dimensional input matrix stored as a Z-major matrix; wherein the CNN circuit is to perform an inner-product direct convolution on the Z-major matrix, wherein the direct convolution lacks a lowering operation.
