Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022271639A1] In one example, an apparatus comprises: a memory to store input data and weights, the input data comprising groups of data elements, each group being associated with a channel of channels, the weights comprising weight tensors, each weight tensor being associated with a channel of the channels; a data sparsity map generation circuit configured to generate, based on the input data, a channel sparsity map and a spatial sparsity map, the channel sparsity map indicating channels associated with first weights tensors to be selected, the spatial sparsity map indicating spatial locations of first data elements; a gating circuit configured to: fetch, based on the channel sparsity map and the sparsity map, the first weights tensors and the first data elements from the memory; and a processing circuit configured to perform neural network computations on the first data elements and the first weights tensors to generate a processing result.
