Abstract

Methods and systems for performing a convolution transpose operation between an input tensor having a plurality of input elements and a filter comprising a plurality of filter weights. The method includes: dividing the filter into a plurality of sub-filters; performing, using hardware logic, a convolution operation between the input tensor and each of the plurality of sub-filters to generate a plurality of sub-output tensors, each sub-output tensor comprising a plurality of output elements; and interleaving, using hardware logic, the output elements of the plurality of sub-output tensors to form a final output tensor for the convolution transpose.
