Abstract: One embodiment provides for a compute apparatus comprising a decode unit to decode a single instruction into a decoded instruction that specifies multiple operands including a multi-bit input value and a one-bit weight associated with a neural network, as well as an arithmetic logic unit including a multiplier, an adder, and an accumulator register. To execute the decoded instruction, the multiplier is to perform a fused operation including an exclusive not OR (XNOR) operation and a population count operation. The adder is configured to add the intermediate product to a value stored in the accumulator register and update the value stored in the accumulator register.

Abstract: Embodiments provide systems and methods which facilitate optimization of a convolutional neural network (CNN). One embodiment provides for a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising processing a trained convolutional neural network (CNN) to generate a processed CNN, the trained CNN having weights in a floating-point format. Processing the trained CNN includes quantizing the weights in the floating-point format to generate weights in an integer format. Quantizing the weights includes generating a quantization table to enable non-uniform quantization of the weights and quantizing the weights from the floating-point format to the integer format using the quantization table. The operations additionally comprise performing an inference operation utilizing the processed CNN with the integer format weights.
