Abstract
A method for compressing multiple original convolution parameters into a convolution operation chip includes steps of: determining a range of the original convolution parameters; setting an effective bit number for the range; setting a representative value, wherein the representative value is within the range; calculating differential values between the original convolution parameters and the representative value; quantifying the differential values to a minimum effective bit to obtain a plurality of compressed convolution parameters; and transmitting the effective bit number, the representative value and the compressed convolution parameters to the convolution operation chip.
