Abstract
Zero skipping sparsity techniques for reduced data movement between memory and accelerators and reduced computational workload of accelerators. The techniques include detection of zero and near-zero values on the memory. The non-zero values are transferred to the accelerator for computation. The zero and near-zero values are written back within the memory as zero values.
