Abstract

The invention discloses a computing platform implementation method for a neural network. The computing platform reads required data from an external memory, caches the read data and the intermediate calculation result of each operation in an on-chip cache; the method comprises the following steps: reading a first part of data of a feature map required by a first operation from the external memory,executing the first operation and at least one other operation for the first part of data, and storing an operation result for the first part of data back to the external memory; reading a second part of data of the feature map required by the first operation from the external memory, executing the reading operation from the external memory, the first operation and the at least one other operation for the second part of data, and storing the operations back to the external memory. By means of the scheme, the number of times of data carrying between off-chip storage and on-chip cache can be greatly reduced, and therefore the overall processing speed is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of deep learning, in particular to a calculation platform implementation method for neural networks and a related system. Background technique [0002] Neural Network (Neural Network) has become a research hotspot in the field of image recognition in recent years. The trained neural network model can be used in many fields such as image classification, object recognition and saliency detection. In recent years, the neural network model has shown a trend of increasing computing scale and increasing complexity. The use of traditional CPU platforms has been unable to meet its practical requirements. Therefore, using heterogeneous computing platforms such as FPGA and GPU to design neural network accelerators has become a new research hotspot. Among them, due to its low power consumption characteristics, FPGA can obtain higher energy efficiency compared with GPU platform. At the same time, FPGA can quickly iterat...
