Abstract

A method of accelerating training of a low-power, high-performance artificial neural network (ANN) includes (a) performing fine-grained pruning and coarse-grained pruning to generate sparsity in weights by a pruning unit in a convolution core of a cluster in a lower-power, high-performance ANN trainer; (b) selecting and performing dual zero skipping according to input sparsity, output sparsity, and the sparsity of weights by the convolution core, and (c) restricting access to a weight memory during training by allowing a deep neural network (DNN) computation core and a weight pruning core to share weights retrieved from a memory by the convolution core.
