Right In-Place (RiP) Convolution: A Simple, General, and Near-Optimal Strategy for Memory-Efficient CNN Inference
Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →The paper introduces Right In-Place (RiP) convolution, a memory‑efficient strategy that corrects and generalizes previous in‑place convolution formulations to arbitrary stride, dilation, padding, and rectangular kernels. RiP aligns each layer’s input and output within a shared workspace, enabling safe, row‑major access with minimal memory overhead. Experiments on 10,000 random layers and 84 layers from 25 architectures show no corruption, matching or improving on existing herringbone workspaces while reducing memory usage by up to 24.8% and lowering peak activation memory on Raspberry Pi Pico MCUs by 12.5–33.3% without affecting cycle counts.
