Abstract
Methods and systems relating to reducing the number of computations required to execute an artificial neural network (ANN) are disclosed herein. A disclosed method includes: generating a summary of a set of data which is an input for a composite computation; executing a simplified composite computation, using the summary, to produce a simplified output; and executing a second simplified composite computation, using the simplified output, to produce a second simplified output which is a predictor. The second simplified composite computation is a simplification of a second composite computation. The composite computations are both part of a complex computation for the directed graph. The second composite computation depends on the composite computation in the directed graph. The method further includes suppressing, while executing the complex computation, a set of component computations from the second composite computation. The set of component computations are selected for suppression based on the predictor.
