Work-in-progress : Prediction based convolution neural network acceleration

• Although intra-layer parallelism is commonly used to expedite CNN execution, it is difficult to achieve inter-layer parallelism because of data dependence between layers. In the paper, we propose a two-phase prediction and correction mechanism to break the data dependence between CNN layers so as to enable inter-layer parallelism. Our technique achieves one more order of magnitude (from the order of 10 to the order of 100) CNN acceleration compared to other three state-of-the-art GPU based CNN acceleration mechanisms.
