Abstract
A method reduces storage usage during processing of a neural network performed by an information processing apparatus comprising a storage. The network may be represented by operators that operate on an input feature map and generate an output feature map. A representation of the network is generated as a linear sequence of operators. Operators are identified in the sequence that cannot form part of a cascade and are to be processed with the entire input and output feature map of the respective operator in the storage. The method forms one or more cascades of two or more successive operators in the sequence for which the input feature map of each operator of the cascade is processed in portions, which portions are less than the entire input feature map. The method forms the one or more cascades by sequentially, from one end of the sequence of operators, designating each operator that could form part of a cascade as a member of a cascade or as an operator to be processed with the entire input and output feature map of the operator in the storage.
