A custom RISC-V vector instruction to accelerate structured-sparse matrix multiplications
A novel AI-acceleration paper presents a method to optimize sparse matrix multiplication for machine learning models, particularly focusing on structured sparsity. Structured sparsity involves a predefined pattern of zero values in the matrix, unlike unstructured sparsity where zeros can occur anywhere. The research was conducted by Democritus University of Thrace (DUTH) in Greece and was […]
