## Abstract

Nowadays Deep Learning became widely used in many economic, technical and scientific areas of human interest. It is clear that efficiency of solutions based on Deep Neural Networks should consider not only quality metric for the target task, but also latency and constraints of target platform design should be taken into account. In this paper we present novel hardware-friendly Tensor-Train decomposition implementation for Convolutional Neural Networks together with Tensor Yard - one-shot training algorithm which optimizes an order of decomposition of network layers. These ideas allow to accelerate ResNet models on Ascend 310 NPU devices without significant loss of accuracy. For example we accelerate ResNet-101 by 14.6% with drop by 0.5 of top-1 ImageNet accuracy.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
