FEATURE MAP CACHING METHOD OF CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK AND SYSTEM THEREOF

A feature map caching method of a convolutional neural network includes a connection analyzing step and a plurality of layer operation steps. The connection analyzing step is for analyzing a network to establish a convolutional neural network connection list. The convolutional neural network connection list includes a plurality of tensors and a plurality of layer operation coefficients. Each of the layer operation coefficients includes a step index, at least one input operand label and an output operand label. The step index as a processing order for the layer operation step. At least one of the layer operation steps is for flushing at least one of the tensors in a cache according to a distance between the at least one of the layer operation steps and a future layer operation step of the layer operation steps. The distance is calculated according to the convolutional neural network connection list.
