ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,346,816, issued on July 1, was assigned to Tesla Inc. (Austin, Texas).
"Neural networks for embedded devices" was invented by Forrest Nelson Iandola (San Jose, Calif.), Harsimran Singh Sidhu (Fremont, Calif.) and Yiqi Hou (Berkeley, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A neural network architecture is used that reduces the processing load of implementing the neural network. This network architecture may thus be used for reduced-bit processing devices. The architecture may limit the number of bits used for processing and reduce processing to prevent data overflow at individual calculations of the neural network. To implement this architec...
