An optimal scheduling architecture for accelerating batch algorithms on Neural Network processor architectures

Phani Kumar Nyshadham, Mohit Sinha, Biswajit Mishra et al.

In neural network topologies, algorithms are running on batches of data tensors. The batches of data are typically scheduled onto the computing cores which execute in parallel. For the algorithms running on batches of data, an optimal batch scheduling architecture is very much needed by suitably utilizing hardware resources - thereby resulting in significant reduction training and inference time. In this paper, we propose to accelerate the batch algorithms for neural networks through a scheduling architecture enabling optimal compute power utilization. The proposed optimal scheduling architecture can be built into HW or can be implemented in SW alone which can be leveraged for accelerating batch algorithms. The results demonstrate that the proposed architecture speeds up the batch algorithms compared to the previous solutions. The proposed idea applies to any HPC architecture meant for neural networks.

Enhanced Voice Post Processing Using Voice Decoder Guidance Indicators

Phani Kumar Nyshadham, D R Shivakumar, Peter Kroon et al.

Voice enhancement and voice coding are imperative and important functions in a voice-communication system. However, both functions are commonly treated independently, even though both utilize similar features of the underlying signals. Our proposal is to leverage information from one function to the benefit of the other. Specifically, our proposed changes are focused on changes to the voice enhancement at the downlink side and utilizing information of the voice decoding. Preliminary results show that such an approach results in improved quality. Additionally, suggestions are provided on future extensions of the proposed concept.
