Abstract:Neural network quantization represents weights and activations with few bits, greatly reducing the overhead of multiplications. However, due to the recursive accumulation operations, high-precision accumulators are still required in multiply-accumulate (MAC) units to avoid overflow, incurring significant computational overhead. This constraint limits the efficient deployment of quantized NNs on resourceconstrained platforms. To address this problem, we present a novel framework named CANET, which adapts the 8-… Show more
