Abstract
In pruning weights from a neural network (NN), a design tool selects a dt-ds pair from a plurality of dt-ds pairs supported by a target device. Each dt-ds pair specifies a data type, dt, and an associated circuit structure, ds, that is configurable to compute d×s operations in parallel on a set of input activations and a matrix of weights of the data type, d is a number of rows in a sub-matrix of the matrix of weights, s is a number of columns in the sub-matrix, and d×s≥. The design tool selects as pruned weights, one or more subsets of the weights, based at least on each subset of the one or more subsets including d×s weights in the matrix of weights of the layer. If performance of the pruned NN model is satisfactory, the NN is compiled into an execution graph and configuration data.
