Abstract

A convolutional accelerator includes a feature line buffer, a kernel buffer, a multiply-accumulate cluster, and iteration control circuitry. The convolutional accelerator, in operation, convolves a kernel with a streaming feature data tensor. The convolving includes decomposing the kernel into a plurality of sub-kernels and iteratively convolving the sub-kernels with respective sub-tensors of the streamed feature data tensor. The iteration control circuitry, in operation, defines respective windows of the streamed feature data tensors, the windows corresponding to the sub-tensors.
