Abstract
A method for an artificial neural network includes receiving a set of input values to be convolved with multiple kernels via multiple computing units. One or more thermally-stressed computing units of the multiple computing units are determined. The multiple kernels are mapped to the multiple computing units of a system-on-chip (SOC) based on the one or more thermally-stressed computing units. A convolution is performed on the set of input values and a most sparse kernel of the multiple kernels on the most thermally-stressed computing unit.
