Abstract
Disclosed is a hybrid traversal apparatus and method for a convolution neural network (CNN) accelerator architecture that receives input feature map (IFM) microbatches from a pixel memory and receiving kernel microbatches from a kernel memory, multiplies the IFM microbatches by the kernel microbatches while reusing the kernel microbatches based on a kernel reuse factor for at least one of a direct convolution (DConv) or a Winograd convolution (WgConv), to obtain output feature map (OFM) microbatches, and writes the generated OFM microbatches to the pixel memory, after quantization, non-linear function, and pooling on a result of the multiplying.
