To support all of them, previous solutions [1-3] use either area-inefficient heterogeneous architectures, including CNN and RNN cores, or an energy-inefficient reconfigurable architecture. A block-circulant algorithm [4] can unify CNN/FC/RNN workloads with transpose-domain acceleration, as shown in Fig. 7.5.1. Once NN weights are trained using the block-circulant pattern, all workloads are transformed into consistent matrix-vector multiplications (MVM), which can potentially achieve 8to-128× storage savings and a O(n2)-to-O(nlog(n)) computation compl
