    General reuse-centric CNN accelerator
    (IEEE, 2021-03-09) Çiçek, Nihat Mert; Ning, L.; Öztürk, Özcan; Shen, X.
    This paper introduces the first general reuse-centric accelerator for CNN inferences. Unlike prior work that exploits similarities only across consecutive video frames, general reuse-centric accelerator is able to discover similarities among arbitrary patches within an image or across independent images, and translate them into computation time and energy savings. Experiments show that the accelerator complements both prior software-based CNN and various CNN hardware accelerators, producing up to 14.96X speedups for similarity discovery, up to 3.33X speedups for a convolutional layer.
