TCD-NPE: A Re-configurable and Efficient Neural Processing Engine, Powered by Novel Temporal-Carry-deferring MACs
In this paper, we first propose the design of Temporal-Carry-deferring MAC (TCD-MAC) and illustrate how our proposed solution can gain significant energy and performance benefit when utilized to process a stream of input data. We then propose using the TCD-MAC to build a reconfigurable, high speed, and low power Neural Processing Engine (TCD-NPE). We, further, propose a novel scheduler that lists the sequence of needed processing events to process an MLP model in the least number of computational rounds in our proposed TCD-NPE. We illustrate that our proposed TCD-NPE significantly outperform similar neural processing solutions that use conventional MACs in terms of both energy consumption and execution time.
