Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods that determine whether instances of data (e.g., forward activations, backward derivatives of activations) that are used to train deep neural networks are to be stored on-chip or off-chip. The disclosed systems and methods are also used to prune the data (discard or delete selected instances of data). A system includes a hierarchical arrangement of on-chip and off-chip memories, and also includes a hierarchical arrangement of data selector devices that are used to decide whether to discard data and where in the system the data is to be discarded.
