Apparatus and methods for forward propagation in convolutional neural networks
Aspects for forward propagation of a convolutional artificial neural network are described herein. The aspects may include a direct memory access unit configured to receive input data from a storage device and a master computation module configured to select one or more portions of the input data based on a predetermined convolution window. Further, the aspects may include one or more slave computation modules respectively configured to convolute a convolution kernel with one of the one or more portions of the input data to generate a slave output value. Further still, the aspects may include an interconnection unit configured to combine the one or more slave output values into one or more intermediate result vectors, wherein the master computation module is further configured to merge the one or more intermediate result vectors into a merged intermediate vector.
