Abstract
Accelerated convolution of neural networks can be performed by executing N computing engines (CEs) of a neural network processor in parallel. An input dataset can be divided spatially into N chunks such that a respective last portion of each chunk overlaps with a respective first portion of a subsequent chunk. Portions of each chunk can be processed by a respective CE to generate a respective portion of an output dataset. The overlapping intermediate states computed by each CE from processing the overlapping portion can be stored locally for sharing with a subsequent CE using an on-chip bus.
