Convolution Neural Networks are one of the pillars of the Machine Learning revolution over the last years. However, convolution operation is associated with a high computational cost. Here, we present a compact and high-speed solution to perform convolution leveraging optics on a chip, with the potential to reach over 350 TOPS/W.
