Abstract
A method in a hardware implementation of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), includes receiving a first subset of data having at least a portion of weight data and at least a portion of input data for a CNN layer and performing, using at least one convolution engine, a convolution of the first subset of data to generate a first partial result; receiving a second subset of data comprising at least a portion of weight data and at least a portion of input data for the CNN layer and performing, using the at least one convolution engine, a convolution of the second subset of data to generate a second partial result; and combining the first partial result and the second partial result to generate at least a portion of convolved data for a layer of the CNN.
