Please help me predict the CPC LABEL for this patentPATENT ABSTRACT: An apparatus for achieving an accelerator of a sparse convolutional neural network is provided. The apparatus comprises a convolution and pooling unit, a full connection unit and a control unit. Convolution parameter information and input data and intermediate calculation data are read based on control information, and weight matrix position information of a full connection layer is also read. Then a convolution and pooling operation for a first iteration number of times is performed on the input data in accordance with the convolution parameter information, and then a full connection calculation for a second iteration number of times is performed in accordance with the weight matrix position information of the full connection layer. Each input data is divided into a plurality of sub-blocks, and the convolution and pooling unit and the full connection unit perform operations on the plurality of sub-blocks in parallel, respectively.
