Abstract:Deep Neural Network (DNN) inference efficiency is a key concern across the myriad of domains now relying on Deep Learning. A recent promising direction to speed-up inference is to exploit weight repetition. The key observation is that due to DNN quantization schemes-which attempt to reduce DNN storage requirements by reducing the number of bits needed to represent each weight-the same weight is bound to repeat many times within and across filters. This enables a weight-repetition aware inference kernel to fact… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
