Overview
Abstract
The talk will discuss the challenging problem of designing Deep Neural Network systems that achieve high performance under low power envelopes, hindering their deployment in the embedded space. The talk will specifically focus on the opportunities that are provided when customisation of the design is possible, through the use of reconfigurable computing, and recent efforts on the challenges in automating the design of those systems will be discussed. Our recent work on the development of toolflows for automating the mapping of single and multiple CNNs into FPGAs will be discussed in detail, showcasing our efforts in addressing the above challenges.
