A method that skips useless math, like math with zeros, to save power.
Think of a teacher checking a worksheet. They skip the blank answers. No one needs to grade empty boxes.
Sparse Computing skips work with no useful result. It helps AI run faster and use less power.
Network Pruning
Network Pruning removes weak links. This creates parts Sparse Computing can skip.
Model Compression
Sparse Computing is a common way to shrink a model and cut its work.
GPU
GPU support decides the real speed boost from Sparse Computing.
