US Patent Issued to QUALCOMM on June 24 for "Sparsity-based neural network mapping to computing units in a system-on-chip" (California, North Carolina Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,340,299, issued on June 24, was assigned to QUALCOMM Inc. (San Diego).

"Sparsity-based neural network mapping to computing units in a system-on-chip" was invented by Hee Jun Park (San Diego) and Colin Beaton Verrilli (Apex, N.C.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for an artificial neural network includes receiving a set of input values to be convolved with multiple kernels via multiple computing units. One or more thermally-stressed computing units of the multiple computing units are determined. The multiple kernels are mapped to the multiple computing units of a system-on-chip (SOC) based on the one or more thermally-stressed compu...
