Question of pruning code

[suhong1]

final_c16 = round(float(nz_c)/16)*16 if round(float(nz_c)/16)*16>0 else 16
if final_c16 > nz_c: #change 0 to 1
ichange_c = final_c16 - nz_c
for c_index in range(c_num):
if sumMask_C[c_index]==0 and ichange_c>0:
param_mask[:,c_index,:,:]=1
ichange_c=ichange_c-1
if final_c16 < nz_c: #change 1 to 0
ichange_c = nz_c - final_c16
for c_index in range(c_num):
if sumMask_C[c_index]== 1 and ichange_c>0:
param_mask[:,c_index,:,:]=0
ichange_c=ichange_c-1

The pruning is not in the papers and documents. What is the use?

Why is this calculated here?

@suhong1 This code is to ensure that the number of channels is a multiple of 16,and this is for high speed calculation of fpga.
