Abstract This paper presents the architecture of a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) accelerator based on a new processing element (PE) array called a diagonal cyclic array (DCA). As demonstrated, it can significantly reduce the burden of repeated memory accesses for feature data and weight parameters of the CNN models, which maximizes the data reuse rate and improve the computation speed. Furthermore, an integrated computation architecture has been implemented for the activation function, max-pooling, and activation function after convolution calculation, reducing the hardware resource. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture, a CNN accelerator has been… More >
