Lossless tiling in convolution networks—resetting overlap factor to zero at section boundaries

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• sectioning a graph into a sequence of sections, the sequence of sections including a first section followed by a second section,
• configuring the first section to generate a first output in a first non-overlapping target configuration in response to processing an input in a first overlapping input configuration, and
• configuring the second section to generate a second output in a second non-overlapping target configuration in response to processing the first output in a second overlapping input configuration, wherein the first non-overlapping target configuration is different from the second non-overlapping target configuration;
• creating a set of computer instructions to execute the first section and the second section on a target processing system, wherein the first output is generated by using tiles of first overlapping input configuration as effective receptive fields;
• and
• reverse-traversing the first section to determine the first overlapping input configuration as effective receptive fields of tiles in the first set of non-overlapping tiles that satisfy the first non-overlapping target configuration.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer program instructions that, when executed on a processor, implement a method comprising:

• sectioning a graph into a sequence of sections, the sequence of sections including a first section followed by a second section,
• configuring the first section to generate a first output in a first non-overlapping target configuration in response to processing an input in a first overlapping input configuration, and
• configuring the second section to generate a second output in a second non-overlapping target configuration in response to processing the first output in a second overlapping input configuration, wherein the first non-overlapping target configuration is different from the second non-overlapping target configuration;
• and
• creating a set of computer instructions to execute the first section and the second section on a target processing system, wherein the first output is generated by using tiles of first overlapping input configuration as effective receptive fields;
• and
• reverse-traversing the first section to determine the first overlapping input configuration as effective receptive fields of tiles in the first set of non-overlapping tiles that satisfy the first non-overlapping target configuration.
