Abstract
Embodiments are generally directed to dynamically dividing activations and kernels for improving memory efficiency. An embodiment of a method in a compute engine performing machine learning comprises: receiving, by a convolutional layer of a convolutional neural network (CNN) implemented on the compute engine, a plurality of activation groups contained in an input data, wherein the convolutional layer includes one or more kernel groups and the one or more kernel groups each include a plurality of kernels; determining a plurality of memory efficiency metrics based on the number of activation groups of the plurality of activation groups and the number of kernels of the plurality of kernels; selecting a first optimal number of activation groups and a second optimal number of kernels that are associated with an optimal memory efficiency metric in the plurality of memory efficiency metrics; and performing a convolutional operation on the input data based on the first optimal number and the second optimal number.
