Abstract
A programmable architecture specialized for convolutional neural networks (CNNs) processing such that different applications of CNNs may be supported by the presently disclosed method and apparatus by reprogramming the processing elements therein. The architecture may include an optimized architecture that provides a low-area or footprint and low-power solution desired for embedded applications while still providing the computational capabilities required for CNN applications that may be computationally intensive, requiring a huge number of convolution operations per second to process inputs such as video streams in real time.
