L2, L1 Definition and read/write account

[Jianfengusa]

Thank you for taking the time and help us with those questions.

Q1

What is the definition of L2 and L1 in your memory hierarchy? Does L2 represent global buffer and L1 represent register file?

Q2

By running the first layer of vgg16_nlr.m we observed that for the weight tensor the L2 buffer write is larger than the L2 buffer read. Since we are not modifying the weight tensor, the write account is larger than read account does not make much sense here. Could you kindly explain why this is happening?

Thank you again for your time!!
