Abstract

Sub-byte quantization on popular vector ISAs suffers from heavy waste of vector as well as memory bandwidth. The latest methods pack a number of quantized data in one vector, but have to pad them with empty bits to avoid overflow to neighbours. We remove even these empty bits and provide full utilization of the vector and memory bandwidth by our data-layout/compute co-design scheme. We implemented FullPack on TFLite for Vector-Matrix multiplication and showed up to

$6.7\times$

speedup,

$2.75\times$

on average on single layers, which translated to

$1.56-2.11\times$

end-to-end speedup on DeepSpeech.

FullPack：通用 CPU 上子字节量化矢量矩阵乘法的全矢量利用率

流行的矢量 ISA 上的子字节量化严重浪费了矢量和内存带宽。最新的方法将大量量化数据打包到一个矢量中，但必须填充空位以避免溢出到邻域。我们通过数据布局/计算协同设计方案，去掉了这些空位，从而充分利用了矢量和内存带宽。我们在 TFLite 上实现了 FullPack 的矢量-矩阵乘法，结果显示速度提高了 6.7 倍，单层平均提高了 2.75 倍，在 DeepSpeech 上的端到端速度提高了 1.56-2.11 倍。
