Abstract:

A distributed deep neural net (DNN) utilizing a distributed, tile-based architecture implemented on a semiconductor package. The package includes multiple chips, each with a central processing element, a global memory buffer, and processing elements. Each processing element includes a weight buffer, an activation buffer, and multiply-accumulate units to combine, in parallel, the weight values and the activation values.
