Abstract
An output of a first one of a plurality of layers within a neural network is identified. A bitmap is determined from the output, the bitmap including a binary matrix. A particular subset of operations for a second one of the plurality of layers is determined to be skipped based on the bitmap. Operations are performed for the second layer other than the particular subset of operations, while the particular subset of operations are skipped.
