Abstract
A method of mapping a neural network to hardware uses a binary tree to assess how to split a layer of the neural network into a plurality of hardware passes by determining a starting value of a current depth within the binary tree and arranging the set of coefficients into groups, each corresponding to a node at the current depth. A compressed size of at least one group of coefficients at the current depth is calculated and it is determined whether termination criteria are satisfied. In response to determining that the termination criteria are not satisfied, the current depth is updated and the calculating and determining steps are repeated. In response to determining that termination criteria are satisfied, data is output which defines each of the plurality of hardware passes, wherein the data is dependent upon the current depth.
