Patent number: 11941533Abstract: Some embodiments provide a compiler for optimizing the implementation of a machine-trained network (e.g., a neural network) on an integrated circuit (IC). The compiler of some embodiments receives a specification of a machine-trained network including multiple layers of computation nodes and generates a graph representing options for implementing the machine-trained network in the IC. The compiler, as part of generating the graph, in some embodiments, determines whether any set of channels contains no non-zero values (i.e., contains only zero values). For sets of channels that include no non-zero values, some embodiments perform a zero channel removal operation to remove all-zero channels wherever possible. In some embodiments, zero channel removal operations include removing input channels, removing output channels, forward propagation, and backward propagation of channels and constants.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2019Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: PERCEIVE CORPORATIONInventors: Brian Thomas, Steven L. Teig
