As many LLMs have been released, modified network layers based on transformer have been researched to improve performance. However, it is essential to design LLMs in a large size for performance, and as a result, current LLMs can only be executed on large servers, and various attempts have been made to reduce the amount of computation. In this paper, we present a method to reduce the amount of computation by using the data attribute of the SwiGLU layer used by meta and google. Since SwiGLU contains an activation function, it generates a large number of near-zero values, and we try to reduce the amount of computation by skipping unnecessary operations. Our experiments show that our algorithm can reduce the computation by 13.3% when there are 20% zeros from activation function.
