  • Patent number: 11757469
    Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and devices for compression and decompression of weight data sets. Some embodiments may include compressing weight data by receiving a weight data set of binary numbers representing weight values, generating a frame payload including a compressed first frame of a first subset of the weight values in the weight data set, and generating a block of compressed weight data having the frame payload. Some embodiments may include decompressing weight data by retrieving a block of compressed weight data, in which the block of compressed weight data includes a frame header associated with a frame payload, in which the frame header includes a normalization factor indicator, and in which the frame payload includes compressed weight values, and generating a first decompressed frame comprising decompressed weight values of the compressed weight values of the frame payload.

  • Publication number: 20220292344
    Abstract: Technologies are provided for processing data in neural networks. An example method can include processing, by each layer of a neural network, a row in a first stripe of a data input, the row being processed sequentially in a horizontal direction and according to a layer-by-layer sequence; after processing the row, processing, by each layer, subsequent rows in the first stripe on a row-by-row basis, each subsequent row being processed sequentially in the horizontal direction and according to the layer-by-layer sequence; generating an output stripe based on the processing of the row and subsequent rows; processing, by each layer, a second stripe of the data input, each row in the second stripe being processed in the horizontal direction and according to the layer-by-layer sequence, wherein rows in the second stripe are processed on a row-by-row basis; and generating another output stripe based on the processing of the second stripe.

  • Patent number: 11029745
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed method for controlling instantaneous current changes in parallel processors with arrays of parallel computing elements, such as neural processors. An exemplary method comprises monitoring the array of computing elements and determining a transition from a first activity level of the array to a second activity level of the array, such as an idle-to-active or active-to-idle transition. Once a transition is determined, the array is selectively controlled to minimize the instantaneous current change from the transition from the first activity level to the second activity level.

  • Publication number: 20180048817
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus improve static region detection in an imaging pipeline. An imaging pipeline may perform detection of static regions of an image at multiple stages of the pipeline. For example, as static regions may be eliminated from further processing by the imaging pipeline, static region detection performed at an early stage of the pipeline may provide for maximized power savings. As images early in the pipeline may contain artifacts inhibiting detection of some static regions, additional static region detection may be performed after further image processing. For example, static region detection may be performed for a second time after some filtering is applied to images in the pipeline. Regions previously characterized as dynamic may be characterized as static later in the pipeline due to a reduction of noise for example provided by the filters, and differences between the static region detection at different positions within the imaging pipeline.
