Abstract:

In this paper, we present a flexible Variable Precision Computation Array (VPCA) component for different accelerators, which leverages a sparsification scheme for activations and a low bits serial-parallel combination computation unit for improving the efficiency and resiliency of accelerators. The VPCA can dynamically decompose the width of activation/weights (from 32bit to 3bit in different accelerators) into 2-bits serial computation units while the 2bits computing units can be combined in parallel computing for high throughput. We propose an on-the-fly compressing and calculating strategy SLE-CLC (single lane encoding, cross lane calculation), which could further improve performance of 2-bit parallel computing. The experiments results on image classification datasets show VPCA can outperforms DaDianNao, Stripes, Loom-2bit by 4.67×, 2.42×, 1.52× without other overhead on convolution layers. © 2020 IEEE.
