Abstract
A computer-implemented method of selecting a number format for representing two or more values of a recurrent neural network (RNN) for use in configuring a hardware implementation of the RNN, includes receiving a representation of the RNN; implementing the representation of the RNN as a test neural network for operation on a sequence of test inputs, each step of the test neural network comprising an instance of the two or more values of the RNN; operating the test neural network for a plurality of steps on the sequence of test inputs and collecting statistics for provision to a number format selection algorithm; and applying a number format selection algorithm to the statistics so as to derive a common number format for the plurality of instances of the two or more values of the RNN.
