Parameter expansion
The MA NPU is the
only unit
that expands the parameter count when using a grandMA2 console.
Every MA NPU
added to the network also adds 4 096 parameters!
A maximum of 15 MA NPUs can be added to give parameters; depending on the biggest console.
There is a
maximum limit of 65 536 parameters
in a grandMA2 session.
The MA NPUs help with parameter calculations.
Examples:
1 grandMA2 full-size (8 192 parameters) + 1 NPU (4 096) = 12 288 parameters
1 grandMA2 full-size (8 192 parameters) + 14 NPUs (4 096) = 65 536 parameters (the limit)
1 grandMA2 light (4 096) + 1 NPU (4 096) = 8 192 parameters
1 grandMA2 light (4 096) + 15 NPUs (4 096) = 65 536 parameters (the limit)
1 grandMA2 full-size (8 192 parameters) + 1 grandMA2 light (4 096) = 8 192 parameters (Consoles cannot expand
the parameter count so the parameters from the console with the highest number are unlocked)
