Abstract

The invention provides a neural network compiler architecture and method. The compiler architecture comprises: a calculation graph construction module which is used for constructing a universal firstintermediate representation based on inputted different types of model files, wherein the first intermediate representation is in a graph form; a calculation graph optimization module which is used for carrying out graph optimization on the first intermediate representation to obtain a second intermediate representation in a graph form; and an instruction generation module which is used for carrying out scheduling optimization on the second intermediate representation to obtain a fine-grained third intermediate representation, and compiling the third intermediate representation into an instruction code executed on the hardware platform based on the hardware platform. The modules in the compiler architecture are matched with various intermediate representations with different granularitiesand attributes, so that various deep learning frameworks and rear-end hardware platforms can be handled with extremely high expandability and compatibility, and efficient and accurate code optimization capability is provided.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of deep learning, in particular to a neural network compiler architecture and compilation method. Background technique [0002] Neural Network has become a research hotspot in the field of image recognition in recent years. The trained neural network model can be used in many fields such as image classification, object recognition and saliency detection. In recent years, the neural network model has shown a trend of increasing computing scale and increasing complexity. Using traditional CPU platforms, it has been unable to meet its practical requirements. Therefore, the use of FPGA, GPU and other heterogeneous computing platforms for neural network accelerator design has become a new research focus. Among them, compared to the GPU platform, FPGA can achieve a higher computing energy efficiency ratio. At the same time, the FPGA's characteristics of rapid iteration and hardware reconstruction are more suitable for the requ...
