Abstract

The invention discloses a memory allocation method of a neural network. A traditional dynamic memory allocation method has great waste, and a manual memory allocation method needs to spend much labortime. The method comprises the steps that firstly, calculation units in a calculation graph are obtained, and all the calculation units are numbered in sequence according to the calculation sequence;obtaining a calculation number set of memory reusable tensors of all calculation units in the model; and determining a final memory allocation mode of the reusable tensors of the memory, and obtainingthe total size of the reusable memory required by the model and the allocated memory address of each reusable tensor of the memory. According to the method, memory fragments generated when the neuralnetwork model applies for and releases the memory can be effectively reduced, the total memory size required by the neural network model is reduced, and the method can be conveniently used in actualengineering.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of computers, in particular to the technical field of artificial intelligence, and specifically relates to a neural network memory allocation method. Background technique [0002] Artificial intelligence has developed rapidly in recent years, and deep learning and neural networks are the basis for the development of artificial intelligence. Since the neural network often has many layers and a large tensor size, it will consume more memory. Moreover, in recent years, the demand for deploying neural networks on embedded devices has become stronger and stronger. Therefore, the optimization of memory allocation is very important. [0003] A memory optimization method is to adopt a traditional dynamic memory allocation method, such as the memory allocation of the malloc function in the C language standard library. However, this dynamic allocation method does not allocate memory from a more global perspective, ...
