Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and techniques are provided for processing image data. A respective first value enclosed by a convolution kernel in each position of a plurality of positions of the convolution kernel along a row of the image data can be obtained and stored using a respective memory location associated with each position of the plurality of positions. Based on each respective first value, an accumulated value corresponding to a convolution output for each position of the plurality of positions can be updated. A plurality of second values enclosed by the convolution kernel in each position of the plurality of positions can be obtained. The plurality of second values includes a subset of the respective first values and an additional second value. A memory location used to store a first value not included in the plurality of second values can be updated to store the additional second value.
