CONFIGURABLE NEURAL PROCESSING UNIT FOR EFFICIENT TRANSPOSE CONVOLUTION AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF

原文（中国語）

A method for operating a configurable neural processing unit is disclosed. The method includes dynamically selecting, by a controller, one of multiple data flow modes for a transpose convolution operation within a systolic array of processing elements. The selection is based on an efficiency calculation for a given data set. The method further includes configuring the systolic array to operate in the selected data flow mode, wherein each data flow mode specifies a pattern of data reuse and transfer among the processing elements, and wherein the pattern defines stationary reuse of a particular data type.
