Abstract: Example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture are disclosed that may be implemented, in whole or in part, using one or more computing devices to determine options for decisions in connection with design features of a computing device. In a particular implementation, design options for two or more design decisions of neural network processing device may be identified based, at least in part, on combination of a definition of available computing resources and one or more predefined performance constraints.

Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting errors when performing a convolutional operation is provided. Predicted checksum data, corresponding to input checksum data and kernel checksum data, is obtained. The convolutional operation is performed to obtain an output feature map. Output checksum data is generated and the predicted checksum data and the output checksum data are compared, the comparing taking account of partial predicted checksum data configured to correct for a lack of padding when performing the convolution operation, wherein the partial predicted checksum data corresponds to input checksum data for a subset of the values in the input feature map and kernel checksum data for a subset of the values in the kernel.

Abstract: Neural network systems and methods are provided. One method for processing a neural network includes, for at least one neural network layer that includes a plurality of weights, applying an offset function to each of a plurality of weight values in the plurality of weights to generate an offset weight value, and quantizing the offset weight values to form quantized offset weight values. The plurality of weights are pruned. One method for executing a neural network includes reading, from a memory, at least one neural network layer that includes quantized offset weight values and an offset value ?, and performing a neural network layer operation on an input feature map, based on the quantized offset weight values and the offset value ?, to generate an output feature map. The quantized offset weight values are signed integer numbers.

Abstract: Example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture are disclosed that may be implemented, in whole or in part, using one or more computing devices to select options for decisions in connection with design features of a computing device. In a particular implementation, design options for two or more design decisions of neural network processing device may be selected based, at least in part, on combination of function values that are computed based, at least in part, on a tensor expressing sample neural network weights.
