ActiveCN105512723ASolve the problem of insufficient computing performance and high front-end decoding overheadAdd supportMemory architecture accessing/allocationDigital data processing detailsActivation functionMemory bandwidth
An artificial neural network calculating device for sparse connection comprises a mapping unit used for converting input data into the storage mode that input nerve cells and weight values correspond one by one, a storage unit used for storing data and instructions, and an operation unit used for executing corresponding operation on the data according to the instructions. The operation unit mainly executes three steps of operation, wherein in the first step, the input nerve cells and weight value data are multiplied; in the second step, addition tree operation is executed, the weighted output nerve cells processed in the first step are added level by level through an addition tree, or the output nerve cells are added with offset to obtain offset-added output nerve cells; in the third step, activation function operation is executed, and the final output nerve cells are obtained. By means of the device, the problems that the operation performance of a CPU and a GPU is insufficient, and the expenditure of front end coding is large are solved, support to a multi-layer artificial neural network operation algorithm is effectively improved, and the problem that memory bandwidth becomes a bottleneck of multi-layer artificial neural network operation and the performance of a training algorithm of the multi-layer artificial neural network operation is solved.

Calculation apparatus and method for accelerator chip accelerating deep neural network algorithm

The invention provides a calculation apparatus and method for an accelerator chip accelerating a deep neural network algorithm. The apparatus comprises a vector addition processor module, a vector function value calculator module and a vector multiplier-adder module, wherein the vector addition processor module performs vector addition or subtraction and/or vectorized operation of a pooling layer algorithm in the deep neural network algorithm; the vector function value calculator module performs vectorized operation of a nonlinear value in the deep neural network algorithm; the vector multiplier-adder module performs vector multiplication and addition operations; the three modules execute programmable instructions and interact to calculate a neuron value and a network output result of a neural network and a synaptic weight variation representing the effect intensity of input layer neurons to output layer neurons; and an intermediate value storage region is arranged in each of the three modules and a main memory is subjected to reading and writing operations. Therefore, the intermediate value reading and writing frequencies of the main memory can be reduced, the energy consumption of the accelerator chip can be reduced, and the problems of data missing and replacement in a data processing process can be avoided.

Solving the distal reward problem through linkage of stdp and dopamine signaling

In Pavlovian and instrumental conditioning, rewards typically come seconds after reward-triggering actions, creating an explanatory conundrum known as the distal reward problem or the credit assignment problem. How does the brain know what firing patterns of what neurons are responsible for the reward if (1) the firing patterns are no longer there when the reward arrives and (2) most neurons and synapses are active during the waiting period to the reward? A model network and computer simulation of cortical spiking neurons with spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) modulated by dopamine (DA) is disclosed to answer this question. STDP is triggered by nearly-coincident firing patterns of a presynaptic neuron and a postsynaptic neuron on a millisecond time scale, with slow kinetics of subsequent synaptic plasticity being sensitive to changes in the extracellular dopamine DA concentration during the critical period of a few seconds after the nearly-coincident firing patterns. Random neuronal firings during the waiting period leading to the reward do not affect STDP, and hence make the neural network insensitive to this ongoing random firing activity. The importance of precise firing patterns in brain dynamics and the use of a global diffusive reinforcement signal in the form of extracellular dopamine DA can selectively influence the right synapses at the right time.
